Advice for the multimedia journalist

Adam Westbrook has written a practical, little booklet about multimedia & freelance journalism. Among the useful tips, for me:

The worst thing a multimedia journalist can do when producing video for the web is to replicate television – unless that’s your commission of course. TV is full of rules and formulas, all designed to hide edits, look good to the eye, and sometimes decieve. Fact is, online video journalism provides the chance to escape all that. Sure it must look good, but be prepared to experiment – you’lll be amazed what people will put up with online.
