<http://nationaljournal.com/powers.htm>Powers: WashPost.com's WB/IMF protest video is "downright artful"

William Powers decided to give online video another try after hoping to see last month's World Bank/IMF protests, but missing the evening news. He was surprised by the <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/mmedia/metro/092702-10v.htm> unnarrated video at washingtonpost.com. "The images and sounds [videographer John] Poole caught -- protesters and police speaking to the camera, plus lots of captured scenes -- speak for themselves," writes Powers. "But this is no mere passive journalism of the I-Am-a-Camera school. It's clear the piece was carefully edited. Given that the editing was done on deadline, the results are downright artful."
