Flash woah

Flash Journalism

Flash videos and the like along with the Internet craze sites like youtube.com and others are revolutionizing journalism. Short flash videos, accessible on almost any computer are making the Internet the place to be for hard to find rare video that some citizen has snatched off their camera phone. Now graphics and website design and all the other great stuff that flash allows journalist to do aside, short flash videos are making the internet an open video forum for anyone and everyone who can functionally work a computer. What we are learning in convergence is how to capture and master the art of flash video and use it to our advantage as journalist. I am sure in future years that flash will become an even bigger part of the overall journalistic landscape and an important aspect in how people get their news. It is up to use as journalist to focus on this medium and evolve with it as to not be left behind.
