How the iPhone Is Transforming Reporting at the 纽约时报.
When Ann Derry, the editorial services director, video 和 television for the 纽约时报, sat down for a red carpet interview at the recent 流媒体 East conference in New York City, she had just come from a panel discussion that included colleagues from the Wall Street Journal 和 Time 杂志. She was struck by how they were all facing the same challenges, 和 how they had all come to rely on a certain popular mobile device.
"Everyone saw the iPhone 4 as being one really, really important 和 useful new tool. We all kind of arrived independently at this realization, that that was going to be a crucial reporting tool for all of us,德里说.
为 纽约时报, the iPhone 4 offers reporters an easy way to shoot video 和 it doesn't require training. That's important when you've got a large group of employees scattered across the globe.
"A lot of them have iPhones," added Derry. "All of a sudden we went, 'Wait, they have the video camera. You don't have to give them a video camera, you don't have to remember to take it with them. 他们有一个.' And not only can you shoot video, you can Skype it back, you can upload it to a server."
The portability of the phone means that it can easily go where a full camera crew can't. As a result of having to shoot their own video, print reporters are starting to think graphically about their work.
