photo of Oprah from The Daily Mail from Twitter, Tweeted by Oprah (so I hope there are no rights issues here) The Daily Mail, the UK newspaper everyone loves to read, announced today that The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) is pretty much over. The network has so far lost a staggering $330 million, with no end in sight. Part of the problem is that almost on one watches and part of the problem is that their convetional pr

Posted on May 6th, 2012 Written on michael's blog

About a million years ago, I owned a house in Philadelphia. The New York Times had just bought VNI, which was based in Philly, and we had to move to NY. (No great tragedy there).

The idea was to give small video cameras to freelance journalists around the world and get rid of the need for crews and fly-in reporters for international news coverage. In a little more than a year, I had 102 journalists, mostly NPR radio stringers, equipped with Hi8 video cameras and reporting. In a short period of time I had more global coverage than CNN, and for a far lower cost

Mobile Video To Surpass Laptop Video This Year

Posted on May 1st, 2012 Written on michael's blog

Comments: 2

VIDBLOG reports that by the end of this year the mobile video ad market will surpass the online non-mobile (what should we call it?) market. This is only surprising in how quickly this shift to mobile has come about. The thing about mobile is that pretty much everyone has one with them all the time - in your pocket. 6 billion worldwide at last count (though who actually does the counting?) In any event, the power o
