For more than 2 years, I have been trying to make count the new media training that I underwent in Berlin in summer of 2005.
A recent idea, i cannot even call it an initiative, was to create that would feature web videos and podcasts connected with the print articles. The idea was to cross-promote this blog through the news pages, that way giving the readers who had Internet connectivity 'something extra'.
That is the idea behind
http://news360sdegrees.blogspot.comI even hosted a first web video on an interesting subject. Too bad the cross-linking could not happen with the print article.
If CNN-IBN and NDTV can talk convergence through blogs, why cannot print do the same? Web Video is hip and here to stay. So is podcasting.
I just hope that day is not far when the lines blur between a print, tv and a radio journalist. Web 2.0 offers a lot. It is left to us to make the most of it.
