Mobile field test with the iRig Pro

 Robb Montgomery reporting from Niagara Falls, Canada. The ability to tell really big stories with really small cameras is something that is fascinating to share with colleagues. I work with editors-in-chief and their staff in many newsrooms and classrooms around the world to develop training and design new workflows and the challenge is to not only raise the quantity, the number of videos a newsroom is able to post online, but the quality of those stories as well. Web video is an incredibly rich medium, one that print-trained journalists can succeed in.

During his speech Kasparov addressed subjects such as the lack of freedom of the press and the political climate for journalists in today&apos;s Russia.

The murders of Russian journalists, such as Anna Politkovskaja, have received great media coverage outside of Russia. But in the domestic media cases like these have gotten hardly any attention.

 At the 15th World Editor&apos;s Forum Garry Kasparov was the guest speaker of the second editor&apos;s lunch. He spoke on different subjects, such as the lack of freedom of speech in today&apos;s Russia, the political climate for journalists and foreign countries interfering in Russian politics. Although he got mostly applause for his outspoken opinions, his fellow countrymen presented some severe criticism. In the end, the russian president of the Press Guild, Eugene Abou, promised Kasparov an official press conference on their own premises, something he has been denied until now. Kasparov himself was very reluctant to believing there will actually be a press conference upon his return to Russia.
