A resource for multi-platform journalists

I'm very pleased with the feedback I have had from this site.

So I'm thinking it might be a great idea to expand the site to include the writing of others who are in the same line of work, and are involved in multiple aspects of TV production across different platforms.

Basically, I think it would be great to make THE ONE MAN BAND REPORTER a resource for solo TV reporters to share their thoughts and tips. Whether you're involved in news or corporate video, your insights would be invaluable and appreciated.

Delegates at this year's Radio-Television News Directors Association convention in Las Vegas discussed the move toward multi-platform reporting at length. It's becoming a vital part of the way modern newsrooms operate, and I think a site dedicated to sharing the experiences and improving the performance of one-man-band reporters is essential. Reporters - whether TV, radio, print or online - are increasingly having to learn new tricks.

I have been a broadcaster for the last 14 years. For the past six, I've been a one-man-band - first in New York and now in Florida. I have worked for many major world broadcasters, both as a videographer and an on-air reporter. But I don't have a monopoly on knowledge. Too often, those of us that do it all could do well to learn more about the new skill-sets we have acquired.
