Who will break news at CES?

Andy Abramson is one a bazillion or so bloggers who are in Vegas for CES this week. He offers some interesting insights into changes in who gathers and disseminates news:

Take the Technology Evangelist, Benjamin Higginbotham, and the way he is applying creativity in blogging to the next level, using video blogging, on the spot reporting and video mail to tell people all the cool things that are happening at CES this year. The way he’s doing it, asking the audience what they want covered, then going out, getting the stories and posting them to his blog is very imaginative and a part of what I’m labeling “the New Journalism,” something which is fueled by “Instant Journalism.”

One commenter notes that you can’t attract an audience by simply sticking a camera in someone’s face and hitting the record button; “You must create compelling video.” True, but if your video responds to direct requests from the audience, some of that compulsion will be built-in. Andy’s complete post—despite its length—is worth a read.
