Why Newspaper Needs Video Production

In the Newspaper sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Video Production delivers measurable results that transform how newspaper professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Newspaper

Newspapers and news publishers are racing to become video-first organizations, but the transition challenges deep-rooted text-and-photo workflows. Reporters need to become comfortable on camera and with basic filming techniques. Quick-turnaround news videos — 90 seconds that summarize a breaking story with graphics, B-roll, and correspondent standup — require streamlined production pipelines that newspaper organizations historically lack. Investigative reporting increasingly uses video as primary evidence and storytelling medium, with documentaries and visual investigations driving subscriber growth more effectively than written articles alone. The economic model is shifting: video advertising CPMs are 5-10x higher than display, making video investment increasingly justified by revenue potential.

Video Challenges in Newspaper

Thriving in the Video-First Media Landscape

82% of internet traffic is now video content. Media companies must produce broadcast-quality video at editorial speed and scale. The shift from text-first to video-first newsrooms demands new workflows, skills, and equipment — while maintaining journalistic standards and editorial integrity.

Digital media competes for attention in 15-second increments. Content must hook viewers instantly, work silently with captions, and adapt to multiple platform formats. Traditional media must reinvent itself while digital-native outlets raise production quality expectations.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Digital Media Pivot to Video

A digital news outlet pivoted to video-first content strategy. Their audience tripled in 18 months, advertising revenue grew 230%, and they secured a distribution deal with a major streaming platform based on the quality of their documentary content.

Key Benefits for Newspaper

Audience Growth & Monetization

Media video drives sustainable growth: video news content generates 6x more social shares than text, multi-format repurposing extends content lifespan 5x, and video-first newsrooms see 65% higher audience engagement. Media brands with strong video presence command 3x higher CPM rates from advertisers.

Our Video Production Process

Production Process

1. Pre-Production: Location scouting, shot list creation, equipment planning, talent coordination, permits, and schedule optimization.

2. Setup & Lighting: Professional lighting design (3-point, natural, or cinematic), audio setup with redundant recording, and camera rigging.

3. Filming: Multi-camera capture with cinema-grade equipment, real-time monitoring, and direction to ensure every shot serves the narrative.

4. Wrap & Delivery: Organized media backup, shot log documentation, and secure delivery of all raw footage to post-production.

What Makes Video Production Unique

General video capture is our on-location filming service for projects that don't fit a specialized category — office walkthroughs, product demonstrations, behind-the-scenes content, and day-in-the-life pieces. We arrive with a two-person crew (camera operator and sound technician), professional lighting kit, and cinema-grade cameras (Sony FX6/FX3 or Canon C70). Standard half-day shoots cover 4 hours of filming, producing 30-90 minutes of raw footage that feeds into your editing pipeline. We deliver organized, labeled files via hard drive or cloud upload within 24 hours of wrap. Location scouting and shot lists are included in pre-production at no extra charge.

What You Receive

You receive: all raw footage on SSD/cloud, shot log with timecodes, audio files (WAV 24-bit), BTS photos, and production report.
