Dude, you are doing a nice job on video, which, without looking up your bio, I assume is not what you set out to do in life. I used to do TV news, so if you can stand it, a bit of advice.. Your glib delivery is fine, but it doesn’t quite mesh with the writing. It’s hard to translate what is excellent writing to be READ into excellent writing meant to be HEARD. If you can, write shorter sentences in active voice. Listen to Marketplace.org reports on NPR for an excellent example. I’d also suggest you make the stories shorter and include more stories in the video reports. Done right, you could do three to five in a :30 video post and drive people to Web links if they want more. Of course, you’re still doing journalism and I’m not, but that’s my take. I hope you don’t take offense, I only chime in because I like the site.
