Newsshooter Skype interview: The state of online news video with Professor Duy Linh Tu of Columbia J-School from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
US Newspapers and other online publications are currently in the midst of another wave of investment in video. But does this all makes sense? are they making any money from video? how large are the teams working on these videos? how do you define news video? and why the emphasis by many on the longer form?
Professor Duy Linh Tu from the TOW Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School recently published a landmark report on the state of video journalism in the US today (which Chuck Fadely reported earlier). We caught up on Skype yesterday.
Duy is a long time friend of this blog and he talks with me at length about his findings and what they mean for those of us working in the field of online video news.
