What is Video Journalism?

Video Journalism is written journalism in video form.

It combines the elements of a written article and some elements of broadcast news into one package.

But what separates it from broadcast news is that its organic than processed.

While broadcast news may be washed in glitter graphics.

Video Journalism takes the home movies approach where things are not heavily refined as what we see in broadcast news.

It’s here to tell a story in the way a written article is presented, but with visuals and sound instead of the usual text, photos and illustrations that accompany it.

What video journalism provides is a middle ground for written articles and broadcast news. With the advent of video sharing sites, this method has become an effective way of reporting the news than the current broadcast news methods.

Going forward, this method will be the more of the norm as the 21st Century moves along for as long as the channels remain free.
