According to a piece on Journalism.co.uk, the Financial Times is set to boost its online video content with a focus on breaking news coverage and footage produced by reporters.
Head of video at FT, Richard Edgar explained there are no plans to use user-generated video or footage from external sites, the FT plans to retain high editorial control of content. However, he did note that FT is experimenting with live video streams where readers can submit comments or questions.
Moving to The Independent, we see a launch of a 24-page sports section replacing the stand-alone media section which has now been moved into the main paper but still has seven pages of coverage.
Last but not least, The Times Online has decided to restructure their editorial team and will no longer have the position of Editor-in-Chief Online. The previous editor-in-chief, Anne Spackman, will now be the comments editor. I wonder how happy she is about that one?
