We all know that editing is vital to making a video package interesting- how many unrolling moments are of interest to viewers if they’re not from war zones, earthquakes and other dramas? And the mainstream media tend to be good at being there….

From my perspective, apart from the fact that I don’t think I can use it from Mexico without soaking up the little cash I make from freelancing, I don’t do much breaking news. And all the breaking news footage from the country is generally on YouTube and at much better quality than most mobile phones can capture…..

It has potential, but sometimes I think it’s easy to get excited about technology for technology’s sake. I am happy to be proved wrong…..
