Using video to make America more comprehensible to Europeans
Gary Younge is the US correspondent for The Guardian, a UK newspaper and probably one of the best newspapers in the world.
Younge spends most of his time on the road, criss-crossing America for a newspaper; yet producing a great deal of video.
Newspapers are increasingly becoming the source of some of the best video journalism being produced today.
As television budgets contract, and as TV clings to a model that is both overly expensive and frankly obviated by new technologies, they pay the price in their ability to cover stories – in their journalism.
Newspapers are coming at this from the opposite point of view. They have a long tradition of reporters working alone – without a ‘crew’; without ‘producers’. Who ever heard of a producer going along with a newspaper journalist?
The Guardian is on the cutting edge of quality video journalism reporting.
This July, the Guardian is offering (in partnership with us), the world’s best professional Video Journalism training bootcamo.
In just four days extremely intensive days in London you’ll be taught all the skills you need to be a professional video journalist – and taught them by some of the best people in the world.
It’s a truly unique opportunity to ‘up your game’ to the highest professional levels.
If you’d like more information on this, contact us directly, or take a look here: Guardian Media Academy.
And, if you’re not familiar with the world’s best newspaper – here’s a look.

This is what makes The Guardian so good.

It is truly shocking to see such even-handed journalism about such a hot button topic as the Tea Party.
