This blog is a companion to the book I have written. It will teach current (and future) journalists the skills they need to do better journalism with the help of digital technology. More information about the book.

 

Pew report: Video becoming more and more ‘typical’

The folks at Pew released another report on Internet usage, this time focusing on video. Here’s the lead:

Fifty-seven percent of online adults have used the internet to watch or download video, and 19% do so on a typical day.

Wow. Almost one in five web users dowload video on a typical day. I haven’t seen recent figures for RSS usage, but I would guess that twice as many people - if not more - download and watch video on a typical day as read an RSS feed.

All news sites have RSS feeds on a typical day (since they’re automatic). Does yours have a new video available for downloading and viewing on a typical day?
