Today's Video Reporting

A daily live broadcast news show and video reporting? Yes I would say those two go hand-in-hand. Everything that takes place and is seen on air during the show can be found almost instantly on today.com. As variety news program, today.com has video that ranges from how-to reports to avoid holiday weight gain, to the top headlines of the day, or even the dangers of this year’s hottest holiday gift. A recent video report covered the presidential address and D.C reaction to the San Bernardino shooting.


 
Video reports can be done in regular news report fashion, or in other formats such as supercuts, B-roll reports, a subject-narrated report, a mobile social video, a how-to, or a wrap. Surprisingly enough today.com as video content that covers each of these formats.

Additionally, user-generated video is very popular within today.com’s video content. Most user-generated videos can be found as video clips within full video reports, however there are certain cases in which the user-generated video is the story itself. Today.com will posted social media site links with a user-generated video. 



Most of Today’s Shows on-air video reports are regular news reports, covering the major news locally, nationally, and internationally. However, because Today is a family based news program there are also various subject-narrated reports that usually cover a family going through a rough time, or a light-hearted feel good story.


In general video reports make up the majority of today.com. Whether it is a headlining story encompassing a video and written article, or clips from the live shows in the ‘video’ section on today.com, users can get their fill of video reporting daily on today.com
