Here at TheVJ.com we love gear.  Not all gear though (i.e. bulky cameras, bulky lights, bulky you get the idea).  This little mic from the people from Rode has us excited.  Shooting with a smartphone has its drawbacks, a major one of which is audio aquisition.  The microphone on a phone is good for your phone calls, not great for soundbites and nat sound.  That's where Rode comes in.

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news.

When we run our video storytelling bootcamps for TV news organizations, our primary focus is on what we call ‘the viewer experience’.
