I think getting everyone in the newsroom a cheap digital camera with video options would work better. Cheap point-and-shoots are easier to use than some camera phones, they cost about the same, and they can be linked directly to computers when they have to. I still haven’t figured out how to email myself pictures from my phone, but I definitely know how to connect a wire from my camera to my computer and transfer the files over. Also, the quality and sound are better, and my camera has a flash while my camera phone does not.

Creating an OPML file is a great move (I passed one out this week to one of our newspapers’ online editors). The next trick is teaching people how to use RSS!

@Charlie – Exactly. Any non-media business office worth a damn these days knows how to exchange documents, stay in contact online, promote themselves, and find out what everyone in town is saying about them.

@Megan – Scobleize’ em. Just come in early one day and add to all their bookmark bars a ‘Gator News’ link to a public bloglines page. They won’t know what hit ‘em.

I wish I could get everyone in the newsroom on the RSS bandwagon. But they are resistant to change, and the editor is content to let them gather info their own way.

All good ideas, but the first five are essentially information shifting techniques for an office. The last one is a newsgathering one. It feels like something that we will look back on in a year or two and ask: “Can it be possible that ANY newspaper is sending staff out WITHOUT a camera-phone anymore? It’s not even expensive…”
