Sky News and Times Online to co-produce video content

Sky News and Times Online have teamed up as part of a video-sharing arrangement between the sites.

Articles on the Times' website will now feature videos co-produced by Times and Sunday Times staff and Sky News.

The shared content will focus on business, home and foreign news, and Sky News footage will be combined with analysis from the newspapers' commentators, a release from Sky News has said.

Breaking news video from Sky News will continue to run on Times Online under the new arrangement, while some of the jointly developed footage will also appear on the broadcaster's site.

The partnership project has been led Sky News producer John Jelley (above left), who has been on secondment at the Times since May.

Jelley has also helped introduce new video facilities within the title's newsroom and is responsible for the creation of new multimedia studios.

"We have very experienced journalists in places around the world that few other news organisations reach and this partnership will help us to to deliver compelling footage to complement the outstanding writing of our specialist editors, reporters and correspondents," said James Harding, editor of the Times, in the release.
