• YouTube Reporters' Center

  Today's edition of NAA's Online Publishing Update newsletter features an item on something that might be helpful to those working with young journalists, or those seeking to polish their video reporting skills: "YouTube has launched a Reporters' Center that houses instructional videos from professional journalists on how to handle video journalism challenges, such as shooting video with a cell phone, fact-checking and interview skills. The videos are aimed at citizen journalists. YouTube hopes the Reporters' Center will foster collaboration between citizen journalists and professional news organizations, Poynter reported."
