It can be more than 2 minutes

Andre Malok, a videojournalist at The Newark Star Ledger, a newspaper, took our VJ video training bootcamp two years ago.

Now he works as a one-man VJ covering New Jersey for the paper, but in video.

A lot of people think of VJ work online as 1 or 2 minutes, but take a look at what an in-depth report can look like.

The Lady Mary left the Port of Cape May on the morning of March 18, 2009 on a routine scallop fishing trip. The vessel with it's crew of seven traveled 66 miles to the restricted scallop fishing area known as the Elephant Trunk. Some time between 5:10 and 5:40 a.m. on March 24, the boat sank and six of the seven crewman were killed. Jose Arias was asleep below deck when the accident occurred, managed to put his survival suit on, and was rescued. He has no idea what sent the Lady Mary 211 feet to the bottom of the ocean. Was it swamped in rough seas? Or did a passing container ship strike the boat without ever knowing it? After months of reporting the Star-Ledger has tried to uncover the mystery of the wreck of the Lady Mary. (Video by Andre Malok / The Star-Ledger)
