Today's video of the day comes to us once again from the people at Great Big Story.  This one is about a man, Steve Feltham, who has been camped out on the banks of Loch Ness waiting for a glimpse at Nessie. 

Great Big Story is a digital platform from CNN that consistantly does some of the best video journalism out there. They focus on small stories, on character, and follow all the rulse we talk about here. Check out some of their other stuff!

The Loch Ness Monster is one of our most enduring myths. People have sought to uncover ol’ Nessie’s secrets for 1,500 years. But only one man has devoted his life to learning the truth … and living alone in a van by the loch to do so. Meet Steve Feltham, Nessie’s full-time watchman since 1991.

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

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.
