Video class taught by… newspaper web guy
Cory Bergman August 30th, 2007
The Online News Association’s upcoming annual conference in Toronto is offering a class on shooting video. But the instructor is not a TV person, but Chet Rhodes, an award-winning videojournalist from WashingtonPost.com. You’ll get no argument from me, as the WashingtonPost folks have been light years ahead of most TV operations with online video. But it’s certainly fun to point out to old school TV folks who mistakenly believe that video is the same on every platform. (Thanks, Dale!)

How true that is: “Web video is not Television”
Winnipeg in May, Ottawa in September. Might as well go for the trifecta and add Toronto in October.
Hope to see you there!

To be fair, Chet was a GREAT broadcast journalism instructor at the University of Maryland in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I had the opportunity to work as an undergrad for Chet in the J-School video lab. He knows the video side of things, too.
