Ann Derry answers readers questions as part of the “Talk to the Newsroom” series, and gives links to NYTimes videos from unlikely videographers, including a print journalist who carried a video camera into an Afghan firefight, a photographer shooting video about Somali pirates and The Daily Baggage, “the only Oscar video brought to you from a basement in New Jersey.”
Questions include:
What lessons can other media organizations learn from The New York Times’s video experiments and experience? How big is your staff and do they have a photo/video journalism background or did they need to switch from print and learn on the job? How long, on average, does it take to produce a video for a newspaper Web site. Is it worth the effort for a smaller paper?
