Movie time

We're making a movie! Sort of.

One of the most essential pieces of the future of journalism is exploring the way in which a story will unfold to the public: how will it break, who then picks up on it, which distribution channels are used to circulate the story, and where in the process analysis and editorial oversight come into play.

We've been playing around with video and we've decided to make a video with a “road map” of the potential future news cycle (even if we don't get off the wait list for a free Final Cut Pro workshop- fingers crossed!). We're still feeling out exactly how it will look, but we want to take into account current trends and ongoing transformations in the news process. Ultimately we'll attempt to offer a prediction, in visual form, of how those trends will manifest themselves in both the evolution of a news story and how we consume it along the way.

Suggestions are welcome!
