Video = online journalism. Video,  without doubt, is the biggest new skill journalists have acquired, especially in print-based newsrooms. But simply saying “lets do a video for that story” isn’t doing anyone any favours. Stories can be told in a multitude of ways online, and not just with video. Think audio, think picture galleries, think maps, and, above all, think data. There’s so much which can be done, very easily with data. Often, it’s put to one side for print due to lack of space,  but there’s no reason it can’t be used online. (Paul Canning’s post about why text still rules makes this point very well). [...] [...] 3.

I'll make the change to reflect that you acknowledged your source. YLM - sure, images have their place but much use is because their importance is assumed. I understand their power too, from a marketing perspective of a well-chosen image for example.This piece is restating what's the primary need though and it does need saying.

Slide-shows make up 40% of major news sites traffic. Look at research from Stanfords HCI Labs that show that on Facebook the first and most important function of a users page is the photo. I agree with all the other points but don't underestimate the power of an image. You lost me at ‘no photos or images’ and, with all due respect, you’re completely wrong with that assessment.

But it is usability guru Jakob Nielsen's apt description of today's impatient, task-oriented Web audience. I was merely quoting him--and crediting him--during my remarks at the recent ONA panel. It was great to share the podium with experts like Hoa, Chris, and Amy--and to engage with a smart, energetic bunch of participants. I wish I could claim “lazy, selfish, and ruthless” as my own.

And you are right if I want to read good writing I tend to grab a New Yorker or a good novel. After text editing to make it shorter, punchier and breezier, visual edit to make it screen readable.
