Interviews, yes. You don’t get those with just a ticket.

Full sports stats info from the team’s PR group is another.

And finally: Your ticket, as a fan, is a contract. In theory, the ticket tells you the terms of your attendance at a game, which in the past has meant you can’t be a reporter, essentially.

Clearly, arenas aren’t stopping some of the Facebooking going on. They can’t. But they’re going after the full-blown, live bloggers…

I’m journalist here in Libeia hoping to be trained outside my Country even though we have universities, colleges that we seek our trainings. It would not be much better if we can not be exposed to the outside and make affiliation with friends of our professional kind. This page was open to me to seek your attention on my matter.

The psychology of signaling is presented in an entertaining fashion in "Spent".

OK. I guess I’m not so sure my experience is degraded (or in most cases, even altered) by this, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been wrong about something. Just ask my wife.

This is significant because (1) it represents Google willingly to degrade the Google user experience to accomodate, somewhat, publishers, and (2) it puts action behind the signals that their willing to work with content producers.

I just don’t see how Google action represents much of a concession, or how Murdoch’s bluster approaches anything resembling genius. Schmidt has signaled repeatedly The Googleplex’s willingness to work with content producers on these payment models, probably because Google leaders understand the precise formula is insignificant.

The fundamental question remains: What content will you pay to read? And other than WSJ (which is a special case because of its reimbursable status), what content does Murdoch own that doesn’t have an analog on a TV-news based website? Because mark these words: All this talk about getting the newspapers to work together on paid content means absolutely nothing to TV, which has never pretended to charge people for content.

Good point, but what about those who don’t know workarounds or think X way is the only way?

We use http://www.campuslive.com, I poked around their site and it’s run by a bunch of recent grads. Looks like MTV gave up, even after spending so much to get started. Money can’t buy success

Thanks Aankit,

Three of us on the team had been writers before, but for this project we wanted to put the focus elsewhere. The idea was to try and tell the story as visually as possible.

I don’t exactly know what a traditional storyboard is so I don’t know if we did. We didn’t plan out how we were going to tell our story before we went out and shot footage. After we had all our shots though, we did storyboard what pieces we would produce and the sequence of shots for each video. Since we were in a workshop environment and had a hard time limit, we could do shooting and production in two phases like this. Out in the real world, there might have been more advance planning, and going back in with a specific shot in mind.
