Journo stuff I’ve collected on 12/01/2013

  • “Students from Asian College of Journalism (ACJ), Chennai; California State University-Northridge, US; University of Newcastle, UK; and National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan, created, modified and published news content on the go, taking journalism to a new level by opening up avenues for deeper engagement through multimedia story-telling.

    The main aim of the initiative was to transcend the age old newsroom setup and show that a newsroom can ‘pop up’ wherever news happens.

  • “When we witnessed the birth of videojournalism, which has many names and idioms, we were embracing the idea of the author and cinema.

    I create cinema. Yes I do! I have said this publicly at many events, such as journalism.co.uk SXSW and the BFI. I don’t have to evoke the spirit of Vertov, and neither do I need to align myself with a tradition of documentary making.

    I use the visual and the aurality of the event to create something that is factual and objective, but it is my subjectivity. BY the way this is not tautology. You can be objective and subjective at the same time and in my lectures I demonstrate this. I maintain my objective position is without rancour or intentional prejudice.”
