Local papers offer web TVcasts
I actually thought of this idea the other day. One local paper in North Carolina is offering a nightly web-only videocast of that day’s news. They actually hired a reporter with broadcast experience to do the five-minute segment.
Tolley hired Sabrina Lavdis, a broadcast journalist by trade, to anchor the newscasts and brought on Brandon Plotnick to produce. Together they used the traditional nightly newscast format to create a hyper-local, five-minute webcast of the day’s news. It runs in the evening so that viewers will get content that didn’t appear in the morning paper. Recent topics included the start of a Citizens on Patrol program and a local hollering festival, as well as weather and sports.
