Colin Mulvany: From Stills to Video in the Newsroom – The Digital Journalist
As newspaper photo staffs around the country suffer severe cuts, time invested in video production is taking a hit. Many newspapers are “retrenching” as they make their last stand. I still embrace the radical idea that video has a future at newspapers. The few remaining producers at my publication continue to carry the torch by serving up compelling multimedia for our Web site viewers. The grand experiment of video at The Spokesman-Review is not dead – it’s just taking a breather. This economic downturn will end. Video’s influence on the Web and at newspapers is not going away.

Southern Afghanistan: The Fighting Season – The Digital Journalist
Over the last year, reports have been that the situation in Afghanistan was getting worse. When I hear that I say to myself, “…getting? It already was worse.” From my first visit to Afghanistan in 2006, I felt that the situation had already started its downward spiral; however, all eyes and most journalistic resources were elsewhere. I returned in 2007 and few publications were interested in Afghanistan. It was like a major war was on and nobody was really interested. I went again in 2008 and found myself in the midst of one of the most violent times the country had seen since 2001. It was the peak of what many call the fighting season, a time beginning in the spring when the weather improves and the fighting picks up over the summer.

From TV News Shooter to One-Man-Band VJ – The Digital Journalist
When I am out on a story and I tell someone I’m from The New York Times, the immediate response is usually a certain respectful recognition. People know the name; they know it stands for good journalism. But when they see my video camera, sometimes a wave of confusion washes over them and they inevitably ask: The New York Times does video?

Birth and Destruction: Rise and Decline of a California Teenage Girl
This “Valerie” tape was easily the most wizard thing I was ever sent to play on the show. Some of the other unique cassette documents I used back then will be featured here in future blogs.
Not only does Valerie sustain the energy and focus of this tape from paused scene to scene, she also at one point has a “conversation” with a “rock star/band” in which she is actually improvising lines off of a voice that she’s turning up and down on the radio – a risky and hilarious move. -

Can Pakistan Be Governed? And Is Asif Ali Zardari the Man to Do the Job? – NYTimes.com
Pakistan feels as if it’s falling apart. Last fall the country barely avoided bankruptcy. The tribal areas, which border on Afghanistan, remain a vast Taliban sanctuary and redoubt. The giant province of Baluchistan, though far more accessible, is racked by a Baluchi separatist rebellion, while American officials view Quetta, Baluchistan’s capital, as Taliban HQ. American policy has arguably made the situation even worse, for the Predator-drone attacks along the border, though effective, drive the Taliban eastward, deeper into Pakistan. And the strategy has been only reinforcing hostility to the United States among ordinary Pakistanis.
