I sympathize with the family of Victoria Lindsay, the girl who was brutally beaten by eight classmates on video.

Lindsay Campbell is leaving Wallstrip for a new CBS online news show, Moblogic.tv. Replacing Lindsay on Wallstrip will be former guest host Julie Alexandria.
CBS may well prove that star rotation […]

Oliver Luft, Om Malik, and Liz Gannes all highlight how the BBC is looking for greater relevance and added value in online video use. I’d like to point out something else BBC News Interactive head Pete Clifton mentioned at the Future of News Conference, something far too many online marketers still don’t understand: video embeds […]
