Videogrep: Automatic Supercuts with Python – Sam Lavigne. Videogrep is a python script that searches through dialog in videos and then cuts together a new video based on what it finds.
Basically, it’s a command-line “supercut” generator. The code is here on github. The script searches through a video’s associated subtitle file (which needs to be in the same folder as the video, in standard .srt format), identifies timestamps for the dialog, and then uses the wonderful moviepy library to generate the new final cut. Here’s one of the results: every instance of a character saying the word “time” in the movie In Time (a film whose dialog appears to consist mostly of clock-related puns). The script also works with multiple video files in the same directory. So, here is Jay Carney, the former Press Secretary, telling us what he can tell us.
Companies Are Turning More to the Cloud for Do-It-Yourself Apps. Columbia Journalism Review. Posted on Thursday Mar 6th at 4:00pm By Ann Friedman For years, even as most print-centric publications downsized, they maintained their status as the crème de la crème.
The journalistic reputations of these former titans even increased as their circulation and ad revenues shrank: They were held up as examples of a dying breed, the last outlets standing for those who care about "real" reporting and quality editing. Plus the staff jobs were even harder to get, so they were all the more coveted.
Comment déterminer ce qui est d’intérêt public? 15 Steps For Changing Newsroom Culture. Change is hard.
We all know that. But something about being in a newsroom makes it harder — the legacy systems, old habits, the necessity of providing content for old and dying mediums. But I think now more so than ever, newsrooms are ripe for change. They’ve been resistant for so long, but now I’m witnessing them coming around. The turnout to NICAR this year was the largest ever, Pulitzers are being awarded more often for digital storytelling, breaking news events keep teaching us more and more about social and mobile consumption. Q&A: ESPN’s Henry Abbott on TrueHoop, serving readers, and the future of sports blogging. The reason Henry Abbott started writing a blog was simple: It seemed like the only viable route he had to being a sports writer.
That was almost a decade ago. Now the founder of the NBA blog TrueHoop will be taking over the reins of basketball coverage on ESPN.com. Why the rise of sites devoted to explanatory journalism is a trend worth celebrating. Everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything about it, a famous curmudgeon once said.
The same criticism could have been made — until recently at least — about the media’s relentless focus on instantaneous news, thanks in large part to an explosion of real-time tools for instant journalism like Twitter and YouTube. But there are signs that this wave is being compensated for somewhat, thanks to an increasing number of digital efforts aimed at adding context, structure, background and analysis. Who cares if it's true? Why Journalists Make Great Entrepreneurs. One day during winter break, I stumbled upon an article about why professional journalists make good entrepreneurs.
Reading the article was like a checklist of what I’ve experienced firsthand at Reese News Lab. While we may not have years of professional experience, student journalists have many of the same skills and habits. The author said journalists: “ask good questions” The article framed this skill as being able to ask succinct, open-ended questions to each of a startup’s stakeholders, such as potential users, mentors and partners. When my team worked on NewsLing — a translation product for local TV broadcasts — last summer, this skill was invaluable.
12 Things BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith Thinks You Should Know about Journalism. Ben Smith became editor in chief of BuzzFeed in 2011 when the website known for its listicles and cat photos got into the business of breaking news.
Smith, an early hire at Politico, immediately built a reporting staff. BuzzFeed's mix of news and frivolity attracts more than 130 million visitors a month. During a talk at the Nieman Foundation, Smith discussed social media as a news distribution channel, the importance of editors, the evolution of beats, the new hegemony of the article as a unit of media, and the value of brevity and high-energy reporters. The Future of the News Business: A Monumental Twitter Stream All in One Place.

You are going to see it grow 10X to 100X from where it is today. That is my starting point for any discussion about the future of journalism. Here’s why I believe it, and how we will get there. An internet company imagines itself as a book. “Betaworks is…” “Betaworks is a holding company slash studio that’s building internet stuff in a different way, based in the Meatpacking District of New York.”
“Betaworks, I would say we’re a media company, but we operate functionally the way a studio operates, with these loosely coupled pods using shared resources.” “Betaworks is an operating platform that brings together creators and builders across several domains and offers them access to a set of capabilities, data, and tools that lets them do what they do best.” Every time John Borthwick describes the company he founded six years ago, it comes out a little different.

Fighting between police and protesters escalated when protesters used Molotov cocktails and lit several fires in the city square. This video – shot on a drone – shows the epic devastation from above, and I believe this may mark a very significant turning point in photojournalism. Has the public’s desire for the theatrical become too large a part of journalism? Let’s begin with the 2013 World Press Photo Contest. Discover Projects » Publishing / Journalism » Most Funded.
Turns out Twitter is even more politically polarized than you thought. Today in Wilmington, Del., US president Barack Obama gave the eulogy for Beau Biden, vice-president Joe Biden’s 46 year old son, who died last week from brain cancer. The White House has released Obama’s remarks, which we have published here.
“A man,” wrote an Irish poet, “is original when he speaks the truth that has always been known to all good men.” Beau Biden was an original. He was a good man. A man of character. Your Eminences, your Excellencies, General Odierno, distinguished guests; to Hallie, Natalie and Hunter; to Hunter, Kathleen, Ashley, Howard; the rest of Beau’s beautiful family, friends, colleagues; to Jill and to Joe — we are here to grieve with you, but more importantly, we are here because we love you.
Schumpeter: The wolves of the web. THE barons of high-tech like to think of themselves as very different creatures from the barons of Wall Street. They create cool devices that let us carry the world in our pockets. They wear hoodies, not suits. And they owe their success to their native genius rather than to social connections—they are “the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in square holes”, in Steve Jobs’s famous formulation.
But for many people in San Francisco this is a distinction without a difference. For months now protesters have been blockading the fleets of private buses that Google and other technology giants use to ferry their employees to and from Silicon Valley 40 miles to the south.
