The story of the first newspaper journalists in the UK
to turn to Video
journalism.
They brought no visual
or technical skills with them, but a passion to learn,
patience to understand, and a need to know how. In
the ensuing months their video journalism skills would
reap huge rewards. They'd also begin to break national
stories.
Their trainer and veteran videojournalist, David Dunkley
Gyimah, one of the first videojournalists in the UK in 1994 tells the story of how they cracked videojournalism in 8 days. Something you could do too.
