On the whole they need to be crafted and this is time consuming. I guess it depends what you are trying to achieve. Paul Kerley seems to work fast and do a great job on the BBC A quickly thrown together audio slideshow is unlikely to generate traffic(though not impossible).

The majority of readers/viewers are scanners, and it will continued to be that way regardless of format. Try some unedited (no narration) news footage on www.youtube.com/nocommenttv Silence is golden, sometimes. Agreed.

Therefore, you are extremely right that it should be given IN ADDITION to an edited down version. @Kevin I definitely agree with you that unedited footage can provide the credibility that is many times needed, but I also think we can’t assume our users have the hours necessary to watch the raw take.

Unedited footage of press conferences or speeches, original documents and photographs…do they always need to be packaged?" I think the next step for journalists (and a future discussion on the Poynter site) is to secure credibility with "un-edited" content to accompany a concise, crafted news story. The Palin/Obama video hubbubs around "out of context" and misquoting could be solved with two pieces of video content - edited and unedited.

As for the debate about audio slideshows, I agree with Chris, I think they can be as quick to put together as video. I've just started using Soundslides and although it is a bit clunky, probably no more so than FCP was when I first used that!

I personally do all of my editing right in Final Cut after toning the images in photoshop. Now that you make your case I can see that for someone who is not photo and photoshop savy, the ASS could take more time. For me personally I find importing and editing video to be a massive time suck. This probably has to do with the fact that I am still learning video and therefore shoot entirely too much in every situation. But hey, practice makes perfect right. Regardless of this debate, the important thing is that audiences are up and stories are being told in interesting ways. Hope all is well and keep rockin' Chris http://www.chrisjordanphotography.com Hi Tracy –

I'm surprised @duckrabbit didn't also comment on audio slide shows ... Although Soundslides makes it easy, I would still argue that there is a quicker turn-around time for videos than for audio slide shows. Videos can be edited on the fly using one program, whereas you need at least three editing software for audio slide shows (Photoshop for images, Audacity for audio, Soundslides for combo). This complex post-production process eats up valuable time. Furthermore, I would argue that it takes longer to capture a sequence of strong images for a slide show than it does 2-3 minutes of decent video footage. I almost feel the heated conversation after typing that last comment ... Other opinions are welcome! Thanks for your input, Chris.
