CNNMoney.com to relaunch with video focus
Cory Bergman January 14th, 2008
CNNMoney.com is launching a new design tomorrow with a big emphasis on original video. The site hired a dozen people to produce an average of 15 clips a day to start. “They can shoot. They can edit. They can publish. They can create graphics. They can write scripts,” said CNNMoney.com Editor Chris Peacock of the new video team. Ultimately, Peacock says the goal is to produce as many 35 clips a day with half of them related to content from CNNMoney’s magazine partners, including Fortune and Money.

the mom&pop pizza joint down the street has a “website”; it’s all text.

Wow, what a sense of deja vu.
In the late 1990s, I was working as a reporter/host at a now defunct web site that did financial news–strictly in video and/or audio.
At the height, we had an editorial staff of maybe 20 or 25, and if you include people who produced segments, etc, it was close to 100 people.
ON24 basically collapsed because of the bubble crash and some really bad management. But it’s ironic to see the idea reborn again almost ten years later.
