Video Blogging

Published by Dave Erickson at 1:41 pm under KXLY 4 News @ 5

For long time Spokanites, the name Paul Horton may ring a bell.  He was the wx-guy here at KXLY4 a few years back.  He and I worked together in the Tri Cities at KNDU TV in ‘96 - ‘97 and we both grew up in the Portland, Oregon area.  We’ve kept in touch off and on ever since. 

Paul is now in Phoenix, Arizona at the CBS affiliate.  And he started something recently that I think is really cool.  He’s video blogging.  He calls is Vloggin’ in the Valley.  He takes a small hand-held video camera and takes viewers behind the scenes at the t.v. station and does short segments outdoors.

I’ve been brainstorming ways to use this concept here at KXLY4.  So, I started bringing my personal Sony Handycam to work  just incase all heck breaks loose and to practice.  

To see an example of the camera in action, check out one of my rundown webcasts.

QUESTION:  What do you, as a loyal viewer and website visitor, want to see from inside the KXLY4 Broadcasting Metroplex?  Granted, I may need to get permission on somethings but otherwise it’s open to discussion.
