Gitner on Roanoke’s help wanted ad

March 9th, 2007 by Bryan

One of the snippets of video that will probably end up on the editing floor next week. During our trip to Roanoke, we were able to interview Seth Gitner for a few minutes. Here’s a short clip of him talking about the Times’ recent interactive help wanted ad (which we wrote about previously here). I’m also using this as a test of a different video service: Blip.tv. Let me know what you think.

    Looks great - belongs in an online documentary about new media at newspapers. Hey, that’s not a bad idea. Anyone have time to shoot it?

    This is a good idea in hopes that it be passed around virally, but I wonder how this could work for a large scale employer. I remember the early days of Employment Television and how scattershot that approach was compared to what BT could do for a video employment ad today.
