MMJs Doing Hard News

Now that people have pretty much accepted the rather obvious fact that MMJs working with iPhones on their own can produce some stunning work, there is a new argument:

MJs are great for soft feature stories, but when it comes to doing hard news, you really need a camera person and a 'real' camera.

Let us put this next piece of nonsense to rest right now.

Here's a powerful investigative story done by Spectrum News 1 MMJ Olivia Levada - and the first story right out of MMJ bootcamp.

This is pure reporting, pure journalism.

And it was all done by one MMJ with an iPhone.

Nothing more.

It's a great story, and of course, only the very beginning both for Olivia, for Spectrum News 1 in Texas and for the entire Spectrum News network across the country.

Well done!

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’. It is a given that the journalism is well researched and accurate, but if no one is watching; if there is no ‘audience engagement’ with the story, then you are in fact showing it to no one, which is tragic, and avoidable.
