Chapter 8 of Journalism Next tells the readers about how to convey your story with video.

The amazing story of Adam Bender who lost his leg to cancer at the age of 1 and despite all odds was a very good baseball player by 8, would not have been the same without a video. You can view the video by clicking here.

The tools of journalism have changed, but the game remains the same: its about telling a compelling story that connect the audience with subjects, people and issues.

The chapter explains how to use video on your computer, capture video highlights, how to use the software to edit video and many more.

Its very easy to learn how to make a digital video, and in contrast to previous years, it is now also inexpensive.
Moreover, you don’t have to be perfect. Quick and less polished video content on news sites often draws bigger audiences. The unedited videos would have been unthinkable a few years ago, and now they are becoming common.
