The Washington Post Has Trained 185 Staffers in Videography....Ballmer Tells Post Editors Print will be Gone in 10 Years

Long a leader in creating and publishing original and stylized video journalism, the Washington Post is educating a large number of print journalists in how to use video cameras. Some 185 staffers have been trained, according to Chet Rhodes, Assistant Managing Editor for News Video at the washingtonpost.com

Further, the paper is providing low cost Canon HF 100 video cameras to several of its staff photographers.

I caught up with Chet in New York this week at Advertising 2.0.

Training Not a Moment Too Soon

Above is a video of Microsoft chairman Steve Ballmer in a meeting at the Washington Post earlier this week telling editors that the print piece of most media will be gone in 10 years.

The rumored pending acquisition of search engine maker Powerset by Microsoft is still not officially confirmed. The news was first leaked by VentureBeat on June 26. The online publication claimed that the purchase price will be more than $100 million.
