I am a multi-skilled cameraman, video reporter, editor and a specialist in information technolog. I provide the complete news service of shooting, conducting interviews, editing, converting the video to MPEG2 or Quick Time files and uploading the video files via broadband internet to ftp servers.
Below the leading journalists tell their stories how the technical development benefit their work:
- GaviHewitt, special correspondent for BBC news since 2000.
... There are huge new demands on camera operators whose job has changed out of all recognition. They have had to reskill to learn nonlinear editing and to get images into a state in which they can be transmitted.... They are still in the process of moving to nonlinear systems.

My job is to understand what the technology can do and adjust my work accordingly...

Operating from a satellite truck would have offered neither the high vantage point or the safety of our position...

... Essentially you need a camera, laptop and a BGAN (broadband global area network) and you can report live from pretty much anywhere... The fact that we had very lightweight kit enabled us to broadcast from the camp rather than waiting until the end to file. The army would not have allowed us to bring in lots of heavyweight gear... Now the deadlines are hourly but technology allows us more control of the process on the road. You can edit it, package it to a certain degree and transmit live much faster than before... The fact that we can now do it much quicker keeps the story fresh...
