Today, more than ever, the race is on to get timely content ingested, reviewed, and distributed as quickly as possible. The time element for capturing and sending images from the field to the station, to get ON AIR, is being dramatically affected by all forms of technology. The combination of portable cameras and still-image and video-capable mobile phones has created the possibility of a virtual extension of the broadcasting staff. The use of the open, public internet along with these portable capture devices is rapidly augmenting and, ultimately, will redefine the definition of "in-field" broadcasting.
Listen in as Academy Award winner and two-time Emmy recipient Tom Ohanian discusses the tehnological challenges that reporters are currently encountering as they attempt to get their content back to the station. Tom cites real world examples involving both professional reporters and citizen journalists struggling to get late-breaking stories on the air as their competitors are close behind. Tom then outlines the best practices for submitting content quickly and securely and explains why implementing solutuions have never been timelier. The webinar concludes with a brief Q&A.
