In Reply To: I'm intrigued by the LostRemote interview referenced above. Who's putting 50 or 60 people on the street with one man banding? That may well truly change the dynamic, but it seems everybody who is going to OMBing is just trying to cut costs ... they put no more people on the street, so they end up with the same crap as everybody else, only done more poorly. I would be very interested in expanded discussion on how one might run an operation with 50 or 60 VJs ... What does your air product look like? Is it dramatically different from the formula stuff we crank out today? Do you dump the concept of "packages," and aim just to get the story on the air? Thoughts?
Message: have become less of a factor in news. I think we've conditioned viewers to watch and accept marginal video. We see so much "surveillance" video and dash cam video and just poorly staged and shot video, that it's just part of the "landscape". With the unwashed masses out there shooting hours of shakey video themselves, The caliber of what they get from local news is not really an issue. A lot of bad photography in the business now is what some folks call "style".
