Resources on Video Journalism

There are changing being forced by technology, opportunity and initiative. Video Journalism is one of the changes that is affecting professional television reporters.

David has a web site called Viewmagazine.tv that shows examples of his work. He also has a blog where he talks about the craft and the realities of working as a solo journalist.

Hit the blog first - there is extraordinary stuff in his posts.
