“@ivanlajara @ckanal That's a whole different kettle of fish to me than video though. No editing or camera skills necessary for Hangouts.”

“I thought videos were going out of style and news orgs were investing less in them. Not true apparently. #onanyc”

“Question for @annderry: Hasn't the viewer's time span shortened? Surprised by comment that (good) video can be longer than 3 min. #onanyc”

“RT @lheron: Web videos no longer have to stick to 3 minutes to do well, @annderry says. If it's good, longform video will succeed. #onanyc”

“RT @just_kate: 30% of the videos on YouTube make up 99% of views on the site (or, 70% of videos get watched only 1% of the time) #raganvideo”

“@stevebuttry One was general news, videos, tweets, etc. The other was just newspaper/magazine covers. So yes, different approaches I guess.”

“@McCollumAshley Thanks for sharing the video!”

“@webjournalist That is the best photo. We need some break dancing video though!”

“Should a #journalist need permission to film, from afar, and publish video of someone involved in a car accident talking to medics?”

“@NewsHouse @pbwayner Just wondering, did the student give permission for the video to be released?”
