Jim Long (www.vergenewmedia.com), and yours truly, are also professionals who are dabbling online... And you can't forget fomer CNN Anchor Daryn Kagen (hope I spelled her name right). I've chosen to take a more freestyle approach to my storytelling, and blogs and sites like StoryBridge are just the begning.

I interviewed for a job recently with my local public access station, and it was amazing how much the internet had passed them by. People were still dropping off Beta tapes every week to air! I thought, being a podcast producer, I could graft some new media know-how into their production system. It would have been an uphill battle, but they were YouTube before there was YouTube! That said, local public access stations are an amazing resource for would-be Rocketbooms around the country. They've got a ton of broadcast-quality equipment, green screens, light grids, etc. And you can often use it for little or no money. This is more or less “Public Access 2.0,” right?

Engaging personalities and storylines. Undoubtedly a valuable addition to many newsrooms. Is there a place for this style of video other than the tail end of a news show?
