viewmagazine.tv and video journaism - what's on

On viewmagazine.tv, coming up a raft of video journalism features and changes. e.g.
  • widget to incorporate blog
  • soon reposting (archive) videos with controls*

Buzzmachine and associate professor Jeff Jarvis* is a fan of viewmagazine. We have a laugh, but this year with a new multimedia studio at my uni I'm looking forward to swapping ideas with Jeff and his students.

Scaling down
The menu listing has been scaled down.That gives more scope at categorising video features, which will soon broadly fall into VJ and Media and Culture and Arts. In the latter, a couple of things that could illustrate VJ Arts styles coming up soon.

More archive and contemporary features.
There are several archive features I intend to post, and equally exciting some new long formats - there aren't enough hours in the day frankly. Watch out for more archive radio podcast features interviews along the lines of the late Godfather of Soul James Brown's sidekick Maceo Parker

Advanced Video Journalism
If you havn't submitted your film to the VJAwards2008, do hurry and if you are planning to be in Mainz Germany for the awards, look forward to seeing you there, where I'll be delivering a perfomance lecture n advanced video journaism techniques.
