Why most newspaper videos are weak

Very interesting and helpful post form Colin Mulvany.
* Storytelling (making the transition from still images to video sequences)
* Bland Videos (no surprising revelations or engaging hooks)
* Structure (lack of dramatic narrative)
* Technical flaws (jarringly distracting audio and/or video glitches)
* Editing (lack of pacing, transitions, sequencing, layering, orchestration, audio mixing)
* Journalism (lack of basic reporting principles, the most frequent offense being the absence of multiple sources)
