Briggs Journalism Next: Chapter 8
Chapter 8 of Mark Briggs‘ handbook, Journalism Next, explains how important video can be to the success of a blog.
He explains how journalists can use different devices to capture moments and show their audience good footage of an event.
It is best if the video is short enough for people to want to watch. Most viral videos are no longer than about a minute long.
Lastly, Briggs says that perfection in a video is not necessary. As long as a video gets up on a blog site before other news sources get to it, it may be more popular or gain the views. Videos are a great way to gain exposure and if you are in the right place at the right time, it could just help boost your career.
