TED Talk: The global power shift
This might send lots of Americans into a panic but I’ve reached a point where I trust “the world” more than I trust the people in Washington D.C.
“I share a destiny with my enemy.”

I assume someone is in the basement of the White House searching for the Internet Kill Switch (“No, that’s the laundry room, turn it back on.”) Might be hard to put that toothpaste back in the tube. Power to the people!
Learfield videographers
When I started messing around with putting video online, I was one of the few in our company doing so. Oh, there were lots of folks who knew more about video than I, but the crude tools and results in those days wasn’t worth the effort to most folks. Today, we have lots of talented young men and women doing video. I’m discovering more every day.
Here’s a nice one by Allison Blood, one of the new reporters in or Missourinet newsroom.

It would be a sad thing if, after 15+ years of Internet, I was the go-to guy for putting a video clip on line. Which was the case for a while. But no more. I think I’ll use this post to link to the work of these talented men and women.

The Mountain
A brief history of title design
Because I’m eager for the movie to begin, I don’t fully appreciate the creativity and effort that goes into making the title for a film. I promise to pay closer attention.
Journalism in the Age of Data
I keep reading how data visualization is the future of journalism but it didn’t sink in very far. This documentary (?) turned on the light bulb in several ways.
I remember (sort of) the first time I inserted some audio into a story that aired on the radio station I worked at. Zowie! How cool is that? Well, better than no sound at all (maybe).
As I watched this, I realized how little understanding is communicated by the sound bite or some TV Ken/Barbie sticking a mic in someone’s face. Real depth, real insight and understanding will happen online (although we’ll soon stop making that distinction if we haven’t already).
I was also struck by the really smart men and women featured. They are not pretty faces. You don’t get on TV unless you look good. I sure hope J-Schools are paying attention to this.
The news organizations (if in fact it turns out to BE news organizations) the bring these skills to the party will win and we’ll all be better informed.
