I think tweets are like anything else you might say as a journalist...whether on Twitter, Facebook or the street corner, you need to remember who you are and what you do and be mindful of what you say.
Do any of your staffers use Twitter? Or is all this coming from the official company Twitter account? Reason I ask, Twitter is very much a community and companies that strictly use Twitter in an official capacity can run the risk of looking too mu...
I tried combining three different tools for this project, a hi-end vid cam, still camera and my iPhone. What do you think? Does it work?
Just shot and produced this last night. Please, feel free to pick apart. This was shot with a high-end Sony camera wire wireless and shotgun mics, a tool we use fo rthe good stuff...or when you have to shoot at night.
Ryan,
Thanks for your question. Yes. Both the pictures and the audio were taken by my iPhone. I may have even cropped the pictures using an app.
I want to use the iPhone more for these type of things.

Finally had two things: some time and a single tool to focus on, a good video camera. Juggling different medias definitely can dilute your content, it can help too but it takes time and practice and a willingness to drop projects that just didn't work out. But going back to one good tool for this was great.

The Art Hop Fashion show video...finally. This one took a while. Used a hi-end vid cam, a still camera, and an iPhone. Edited with Quicktime Pro and Final Cut.

- We are testing out the new iPhone for various applications, as a reporting tool, especially to relay breaking news quickly, but also as a video, photo tool. Check this out, shot entirely with an iPhone and later edited in Final Cut. But all clips could have been emailed immediately after shooting to anyone:
Made several mistakes and the audio levels are a bit tricky, but it was very simple to deal with, quick, small and portable, nice tool to have.

- So here is how you can put out an event listing/story in a very very different way. Instead of telling people the nuts and bolts of an event first -- in this case a charity ride of military families -- show people why they should care instead. This was a quick 10 minute interview, a few portrait shots of the organizer, and past file photos of the event we already had in our system. Done in Soundslides, an Olympus DS recorder, Audacity, Photoshop, and a looped intro to some cool music.
