Dean C. Smith’s Summary

Working in the arena of television news as a videographer/editor involves a great deal more than just the technical ability to operate a camera. Above all it necessitates inventiveness, incorporating a creative eye for structure and storytelling. Strong, composed images can impress compelling reporting.

"As offline media companies see their revenues continue to slow down, they will lay off more and more people. At the same time, the burgeoning digital media industries will value these people for what they can do and will give them new opportunities. They will do well. They will be the new content builders. They will be the new sellers of Web video advertising. They will be the new planners of truly integrated digital marketing programs. Their only wonder will be why they didn’t leave sooner."
