ITV News vlogging from Afghanistan
ITN has used its week of reporting from Afghanistan to experiment with video blogging.
Anchor Mark Austin and various reporters have filed vlog posts alongside their coverage for the broadcast news (more here).
Three things stand out in this vlog piece. First, it's just like a traditional piece of broadcast news, presenter driven, sets constructed and people artificially placed to interview. Second, if there is a war about, it seems a very jolly one - no blood and guts, not too much slumming it for the ITV boys.
Third, there seems to be millions of them out there, using a tonne of kit. Why not just send a reporter with a lightweight camera and a laptop?
