WeMedia's Andrew Nachison Discusses the Future of Online Journalism

Posted by Roblimo on from the get-me-rewrite! dept.

WeMedia is partly a think tank and partly a consulting firm that advises news organizations on how to deal with the ever-changing world of online journalism. Andrew Nachison cofounded WeMedia with Dale Peskin (who went back to newspaper editing in 2014) and is now the main sparkplug behind WeMedia. Andrew has been around journalism as a reporter, editor, consultant, and academic observer. If you're interested in the future of journalism, this interview with Andrew is a "must watch" (or "must read the transcript") piece. And we'll have another video starring Andrew on Slashdot within the next week, since this one ran long but only covered half of what we wanted to.

      Ok, call me stupid but the links in the post don't take me to the "must watch" video.

  5. Why a video? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    Why do we keep having to look at videos that are nothing more than a person staring somewhere in the vicinity of a camera? Why can't we get someone to do real reporting and summarize all of the inane babel into a useful article? You know, journalism. Taking something and making it into a news story to post online.

    This fascination that /. suddenly has with posting raw web cam video is beyond idiotic. Sure. I like the idea that /. can post videos. But only when it's a video of something interesting that cannot be adequately described in text and must be shown in video.

      You are thinking of porntube. If he's on there, you don't want to see it.

  6. The problem with talking head videos from bedrooms by xxxJonBoyxxx · · Score: 0

    The problem with talking head videos from someone's bedroom is that the stillshot usually makes the speaker look like a pedo you'd see on the 11 o'clock news, especially if the selected image catches them with a goofy smile.
