EmailVimeo announced this week that it is adding support for 360 video on its platform. 360 video and VR have become increasingly popular to both consumers and producers. Just in the last year more devices to record 360 and VR have become commercially available and more platforms have integrated it as well. As more people get their hands on VR devices, the way in which stories are told using the technology will innovate and bring truly immersive experiences. We're excited to see what's next!

Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.
What TV News Could Be

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.
