WUSA Looks To Create One-Person Multimedia Journalists
From the Washington Post’s Paul Farhi:
The march of technology and the shrinking economy are beginning to take a toll on the traditional means of television news-gathering: the TV news crew.
Under a new agreement reached this week with its labor unions, WUSA, Channel 9, will become the first station in Washington to replace its crews with one-person “multimedia journalists” who will shoot and edit news stories single-handedly.
The change will blur the distinctions between the station’s reporters and its camera and production people.
