Two journalist one goal
Why Wall Street allows its content compete with The New York Times on such a uneven playing field?
![Page 9: Online Journalism: Theory and Practice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681694c550346895de0e7b4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why?
Audience open to all levels of qualityPerfection not necessary
Quick and less polished video content on news sites often draw more audience
Change of perception among newspaperBroadening their definition of what can be
published .e.g. cell phone video are considered publishable
Unedited video are becoming common practice

TipsNot all stories can be told through video (e.g. statistics)Make clear outline of what you want to communicate Provide background information Identify your main characterStatistics should come from experts and emotions from
the victimsFind supporting images to support the statementsAvoid talking head syndromeTake expert to the field Context and location is king Capture both small details and larger contextGolden rule: You never have enough people
