To saker om samme sak

Paul Bradshaw gjør en interessant sammenligning av to forskjellige rapporter fra Afghanistan i sin Online journalism blog. Det ene er en videobloggpost fra ITV, den andre en mulitmediepakke fra Reuters. Begge tar sikte på å gi et "behind the scenes"-bilde fra krigen. Med særdeles forskjelig resultat.

Bradshaw skriver:

Now obviously the video blog and the multimedia interactive are different mediums with very different investments of time and money. But the reflectiveness of the Reuters piece could have just as easily been done with a video blog. In other words, a video blog doesn't have to be superficial.
Instead, ITV has opted for entertainment over insight -- which is understandable: that's what ITV News is known for, what its audience has perhaps come to expect. This is blog-as-diary rather than blog-as-journalism.
