VIDEO JOURNALISM - MARY ANGELA BOCK GEBUNDEN

Video journalism  the process by which one person shoots  writes  and edits video for broadcast
or the web  is a form of newsgathering taking hold in newsrooms of all kinds  by professionals
and would-be citizen journalists around the world. Some proponents have celebrated it as an
improved narrative form  one that uses more intimate  emotional documentary filmmaking
techniques than conventional television. Its detractors consider it simply a cheaper way to
make news. Video Journalism: Beyond the One-Man Band weighs in on the controversy while
addressing two overall concerns: What is video journalism  exactly? And how do the stories
created by video journalists compare with other forms of news? This book presents more than two
years of ethnographic research in a wide variety of contexts in the United States and the
United Kingdom  including local newspapers  The New York Times  local television stations  the
BBC  the Voice of America radio network  and several professional photographic workshops. In a
departure from other news ethnographies  this book takes a somewhat unusual approach in that
the author observes video journalists at work in the field  not just in newsrooms  on stories
ranging from an urban shooting to a presidential campaign visit. This approach offers a
fascinating insider perspective for those in the field as well as those who aspire to it.
