Some questions:
1. How many people work on one of the multimedia projects done by The New York Times, and how much more time/effort does it take to create a news piece for the web compared to just print?
Do you think this could present challenges for news companies because it requires more resources to make a multimedia product rather than a print story?
2. In one of your talks, you said something along the lines of, "Try to make slide shows standalone pieces of journalism, as opposed to simple recap of a longer written story."
But you also said, "Internet audio pieces don’t succeed if they’re longer than 3 minutes (about 600 words)."
Is this the reason most New York Times slideshow pieces are broken into many tiny chunks, rather than one continuous video? What do you think a viewer gains from this type of viewing format?
3. In your written piece, "Crossing Media," you describe part of your NYT job as, "On some days it means training The Times' reporters and photographers to gather audio in the field." Are you trying to add a multimedia component to most print stories at The Times now? How many reporters are being converted into not only journalists or photographers, but also sound recordists for multimedia pieces?
