UK Broadsheets and the use of video

Andy Dickinson has posted an overview of what the UK broadsheet newspapers are doing in terms of video and multimedia.(Well worth a read ,as always).

This on the Telegraph

"

Unfortunately, like the Guardian, the broadcast production roots of a lot of the
content shows through and it looks pretty bland. Produced in conjunction with
ITN a lot of the news content is bland and lacks a distinct personality."

And Andy concludes that

A general criticism that you could level at all of the
broadsheets is the lack the basics of online presentation. No consistent date
stamps for the video, a lack of clear contextual information and poor linking to
existing content are repeated mistakes. Some of it, I can imagine, are the
limitations of the content management systems. But it’s obvious that in terms of
joined up thinking the ‘convergence’ of content still has a way to go.
