WP reporters issued video cameras
Apparently 50 or so Washington Post reporters, mainly foreign correspondents, have been given video cameras with the intention of using the video for the newspaper’s website.
“We’ve always had the concept that reporters having video cameras out in the field would be useful,” says James Brady, executive editor of Washingtonpost.com. “We would buy the cameras and give them to reporters to shoot still pictures, record voice, or shoot video. It’s a triple-threat device. It adds a whole different dimension than you can get on the print side.”
