USA TODAY Video Academy – Day 1 in NY

first day of class

Today we launch our first pilot session of the USA TODAY Travel Video Academy

USA TODAY is moving their content online and onto tablets and mobile.

All of those devices are viewed on screens.

And screens demand video. There’s an expectation that screens will deliver video

USA TODAY is acutely aware of this.

The question becomes: who is going to provide this vast quantity of new video content that is required?

USA TODAY and we believe that the answer is here.

Next week we’re going to Geneva to run a one-week video bootcamp with the UN.

The week after that, we start Guardian Media Academy in London with The Guardian, another newspaper.

There is no question that this is where the world is headed.
