Broadcast Journalism and Their Technology Setup for Livestreaming
On the 186th episode of Speedify LIVE we are joined by Ghostwriter, Content Publisher and Speedify user, Daniel Rosehill to chat about the importance of connectivity in the age of livestreaming and remote work.
We discuss how Daniel found Speedify, take a look at what setup he uses for his own content, and answer a few viewer questions about the ever-changing works of journalism.
Here are our 5 takeaways from our chat with Daniel Rosehill:
- Daniel says that with connection bonding becoming more accessible, the line between citizen vs mainstream journalism is becoming more blurred every year. He says that while LiveU is a good option for broadcast journalism and big corporations, Speedify is a more accessible option for everyone doing any sort of livestreams because connectivity is essential to make things work.Â
- When it comes to fast journalism, Daniel recognizes that keeping things short and concise is the current trend, but says that classic documentaries aren’t going away either. He says that because different audiences watch different content, you can find a connection between streaming and shorts, in some cases, using streams as a rough first draft while repurposing the footage into shorter content.Â
- While Daniel says that being a digital nomad may not be for him, he does see huge potential for remote work with solutions like Speedify. With most areas in the world having at least some sort of connectivity available, if you put two connections together you can work from anywhere – especially places like India or Australia where there’s a high need for connection bonding.Â
- Daniel has a YouTube channel that he says he started as a way to remember how he solved specific tech problems. He started out with Linux-related videos, but eventually he did one about connection bonding and it became one of his most viewed videos!
- For his content, Daniel uses a very specific setup: being a big proponent of camcorders he films with those, while he also tends to simply use his webcam since compatibility can be an issue on Linux. His microphone is pretty old-school too, using an Audio Technica AT2020. In terms of software, he uses Kden Live for editing, and for animation, which he’s planning to get into more, he uses Open Toonz.
