In a vlog (video blog) presentation to the Radio-Television News Directors Association conference in Las Vegas last week Jeff Jarvis (former TV critic for TV Guide and People, creator of Entertainment Weekly, Sunday Editor of the NY Daily News, and a columnist on the San Francisco Examiner) warned broadcasters to watch out for video bloggers.
Like podcasting, vlogging sets stories free from their physical world aggregation – newspapers, TV programs and radio stations. They facilitate consumer access by story rather than by aggregator. This will increase consumer access but frustrate the hell out of those who make money out of aggregation.
Now anyone with a $100 camera and a PC can create content and make it available. Vlog reporters will take us to stories ahead of more traditional news sources – as we saw recently with some tsunami coverage.
Those in the supply chain between content makers and consumers watch out!
Great reads, thanks.
