Multimedia Editor Seth Gitner "greets" interested applicants for the editor job that was posted today. Take a look, and if you think you fit the bill, please apply. February 8, 2007Video on the siteWithin a week of Chet Rhodes' training on reporters shooting video, we've had a virtual explosion on the site. Today, there are three reporter-shot videos, all produced Wednesday and including interview footage from the John Mayer concert in Roanoke Wednesday night. No doubt we'll have to work out production issues and workflows to make sure we get the stuff edited and posted in a timely fashion (with just three people who know how to do it). But it's a great step to take. Check out the video: Snow day in Blacksburg | Snow day in Roanoke | John Mayer concert interviews. |
