Video killed the radio star ... or so the song goes. Could it be that video killed the newspaper star as well? I certainly hope not, unless, of course, I become a video star instead.
The age of video has arrived at the Prince George Free Press. We are now uploading video to our website at www.pgfreepress.com.
There isn't much there now as we are taking baby steps with this new medium. We are, after all, print journalists not videographers. But we are adapting. The Free Press is one of the test papers in the chain for experimenting with video uploading to our websites. Our readers and website visitors want their news in a variety of ways so it is incumbent on us to provide news and information in styles and formats that our customers want.
The advent of You Tube (where our videos are located) and better technology has made video journalism a reality for many people.
We are already gathering the news of the community for print, so it only makes sense that we do it for video as well. It is a more complete news package.
We hope you enjoy it. Bear with us as we learn the ropes of this new way of presenting the news. And keep checking our website for breaking news of both the print and video variety.
