PodTech + San Jose Mercury News: Traditional and New media work together
I’m super pleased to announce that PodTech (my employer) and the San Jose Mercury news are teamed up for a weekly video blog. The official word? “PodTech to be distribution and advertising partner for weekly video show “Inside Silicon Valley”. Their first episode is at the Brickhouse, a new Yahoo funded incubator for startups. More news from Christina from 901am.
A few months ago, I visited WeMedia conference in Miami, wow the journalism industry could not agree on who’s in charge and what direction to go. John Furrier, our CEO recently hosted Stanford’s Innovation Journalism program at our Palo Alto HQ, in fact we were lucky to score some great members of that organization for a summer internship. The San Jose Mercury News realizes a new set of tools is available. We welcome them to the distributed and two-way conversation.
What else is new with PodTech? Lots.
Martin McKeay, Security Blogger “A-lister” has joined PodTech, he talks about his video strategy in his latest. Liz Gannes covers the latest relationship between Jerry Zucker and PodTech.
