Big Ten Network Tests Instagram Video for Reporting Football
Sports channel is early adopter
The Big Ten Network's Tom Dienhart, who has been a college football writer since 1990, this month can add "social video journalist" to his resume—he has been shooting dozens of Instagram videos as he attends gridiron practices throughout the conference's Midwestern footprint. Dienhart's one of the first journos to employ the nascent, 15-second videos feature on Instagram, which has attracted millions of users with its photo-sharing capabilities since 2010.
So if you want to catch a glimpse of Michigan's linemen digging into the trenches or briefly watch Wisconsin's running backs work on their change-of-direction, among many other viewing options, Dienhart's Instagram account is the place to go.
