New online video efforts
The number of news organizations that have recently made announcements related to their online video efforts is remarkable, reports NetBtoB.com. Here's a summary of some of those efforts:
• Yahoo! News announced in July that it will begin to offer video news from CNN.com and ABC News. The portal already has video deals with Reuters and the Associated Press.• The AP also announced last month that it will create an ad-supported online video news network for its members, most of which are newspapers. The network will be "distributed," according to AP's Jane Seagrave, director-new media markets, meaning it will reside on individual newspaper sites.
• CBS Digital Media and CBS News unveiled in July an ambitious plan to create a 24-hour news channel online, with heavy use of ad-supported video news, to "bypass" cable television.
• MSNBC.com attributed, at least in part, its growing number of monthly unique visitors to its free video news service.
• CNN, which had offered subscription video news, recently introduced free video. Susan Grant, exec VP-CNN News Services, also said in an interview that CNN.com will introduce a premium subscription video news service later this year that will not be ad-supported.
• CMP Media in June launched "The News Show," an online video newscast covering b-to-b technology issues. The program appears on TechWeb and has attracted sponsors such as Lexmark International and Computer Associates.
