The YouTube Reporters’ Center has recently been initiated “to help you learn more about how to report the news. It features some of the nation’s top journalists and news organizations sharing instructional videos with tips and advice for better reporting.”
Here are the titles of a few of the videos:
♦ Pulitzer Center: Tips for Video Journalists
♦ How to Shoot Two Kinds of Video (from Reuters)
♦ PolitiFact’s Guide to Fact-checking
♦ NPR’s Scott Simon: How to Tell a Story
♦ Katie Couric on How to Conduct a Good Interview
Each of the videos I checked out were short (2-5 min) while containing relevant and practical info pertinent to the titles. Some of the instructional videos can be useful for blogging, getting to the essence of a story, video marketing, interviewing others, as well as applications for social media and social marketing in general.
