Video
With the new age of journalism moving to an online format, video sections play an important role in newsrooms — including ours. Look at Buzzfeed, Vox and the New York Times — they are all finding ways to transform essays of writing into an easily digestible video. At The Michigan Daily, we are striving for just that. We work with all sections to find a way to enhance their content as well as producing our very own. Here with the Video section, you can easily gain some experience filming and editing skills. Plus, there is no previous experience required. From pre-production to post production of a video, The Daily’s Video team has a place for you!
