Sandi Bachom is one of our favorite video journalists.

This one time award-winning ad agency executive picked up a video camera and never looked back.

Take a look at the video that she shot at a recent town hall meeting in New Jersey with Congressman Leonard Lance (R).

You will not that there are no CNN, NBC, Fox or anyone else present. 

Only Sandi.

But she captures a fantastic moment in American political life, a Congressman confronted by his constitutents.  Isn't this how demcracy is supposed to work?

Posted only 3 hours ago, this video has already gotten more than 275,000 views on Facebook, and Sandi tells me it will easily surpass 1 million.  

At TheVJ.com, we like to say, if you didn't shoot it, it didn't happen.  In th world of news, if you don't shoot it and share it, no one knows. Thanks to Sandi, people do.

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news. Viewership of TV news in general has fallen off, so naturally, TV executives across the boards are searching for a solution. How to appeal to a demographic that spends most of their time on social media?


Sometimes when you are searching for something, the answer is right before your eyes. For years, I have been looking for a new and powerful way to cover breaking news stories - and now, I think, I've got it.


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.
