Video in the Newsroom & The Importance of Thinking Cross-Platform
Interesting article about video in the newsroom from TheDeal: The Times, Fortune, WSJ and others are allowing (or urging) reporters to file video reports on the same content as their columns.
David Pogue at the New York Times has been producing some amusing video that are worth watching because they often provide additional or different details and insight that take advantage of video as a different means of telling the story. (There are a lot of reporters who post headshot-type interviews that are not much different from the traditional text/print articles they file.)
Some organizations now even film a part of their editorial decision process -- which is an interesting look at what's being raised and how the issues are being addressed. Some of the analysis, as TheDeal article points out -- like "why does (NY Times Executive Editor) Bill Keller wear that jacket?" -- may be a bit too much.
But these videos -- both the reporters retelling of their text articles and the view inside the editorial room -- are interesting for another reason for PR functions.
Namely, while not all reporters have the ability to be creative the way Pogue does, they are exploring new ways to gather and tell stories across different media.
Right now, a lot of companies are not doing that, but stand to learn a lesson. It adds a layer of cost and stress, but I think more companies should be telling their stories not just with text-based press releases and should be embracing multimedia. I know some companies are doing so, including some of our clients, but not enough are thinking cross-platform.
It's not enough to think about integrated communications. It's critical to think cross-platform communications, too. And organizations have to realize that it may take a while before they understand how to best embrace a cross-platform approach. But if they don't start now, they'll be late to the party, and less effective for not embracing a cross-platform approach.

Dramatized the product
- Tough one...
It's going to have t be a mix of different media.
1. Testimonials of current owners of the product and how it's helped them. This can be done thru Video and print
2. Somehow I believe there will have to be Video of it being "dramatized"
3. People of influence will have to support or sponsor the product.
just some that came to mind..
Re: How do you earn trust with an online business?
- Add VALUE to your target market. How? Well depends. If your business can start by Educating the target market about how your product or Service can add value to their lives.
This can be done via Video (hot right now), basic text, audio etc.
I've had a lot of success with Video and am using it primarily as a lead generation tool. If done right your Content can add Value and add to your bottom line at the same time while building Trust.

Hiring introverts vs. extroverts
- Hi Kevin - interesting topic!
Thinking back over my career as an entrepreneur and the people I've brought on, most of them have been introverts. The exception usually comes with the sales function (but not always). It's generally hard to be a good salesperson if you are an introvert.
