Increasingly, members of the public are consuming news by engaging with video clips shared online. Video clips provide visual proof of what is happening and, when shared online, provide journalists, influencers, and everyday people the ability to react with their own commentary. The unique format of the video clip coupled with incisive commentary is helping to form a new scaffolding for public discourse by empowering audiences to reference, repurpose, reframe, and reshare cultural moments through their own perspectives.

In this session, engage with with political journalist and Twitter personality Aaron Rupar

  • Making video clips, including practical tips for beginners to experts
