But at the Online News Association, I was impressed hearing an editor at a Gannett paper in Delaware tell how he had turned his newsroom into a 24-hour omnimedia operation. Add to that the inside-out use of crowdsourcing and you have the Gannett plan.

Both from your point of view in becoming a teacher and from the point of view of what you are learning about the attitudes and expectations of your students. Are they still interested in traditional print muckraking, or are they more interested in multimedia, for example? What do they see as the role of the news media? Jeff:

And the training takes just 55 minutes, Rhodes says. Newspapers all across the country are doing the same (or training their still photographers), and in one respect they have an advantage over TV sites: they’re learning how to produce video for the web, not TV. And yes folks, there’s a difference. Jeff Jarvis explains how his CUNY class enjoys WashingtonPost.com’s video because it’s “still somewhat raw, not overproduced.” This is a key point that alludes most TV people who were raised on concepts like urgency and pacing. I wouldn’t be surprised that newspapers ultimately end up innovating just as many successful, original web video concepts as TV sites.
