Michael Rosenblum

For more than 12 years, Michael Rosenblum has been on the cutting edge of the digital 'video-journalist' revolution. In fact, he coined the phrase. "Video-journalism is more than just teaching someone to shoot and edit their own video," he says, "It is teaching creative people to be 'literate' in the most powerful medium in the world today." "Television is a medium that has been traditionally closed to all but a select elite, and as a result, what we see on television, and increasingly on the internet, is for the most part banal, insipid and uninspired. It is the natural end of turning over our primary means of communication to a handful of people, no matter how well intentioned."
