      Agree. I'm one of those. The very first video I watched (or listened to first as it played while I was driving)... it wasn't a subject or even matter I really was invested in or interested in.
      Then something got me hooked and it was just so real.

    Hey good to see you bro, cant believe this ha s such little fews. Of all the CZcamsrs I've seen and watched, ever since watching your Borders Series to now your own channel, I just believe you can be one of the great journalists of this generation. Your video's asthetics have alwats been amazing. Sry for fanboyingout lol, but all I'm saying is I'm rooting for you hard man becauseof the important stories you bring to the world in an engaging way in such an aesthetic way.
    Much love brother!

    This is simply and directly presented yet very powerful. The discussions around journalistic ethics are important. Hopefully the journalists asking those questions are aware that they themselves need to ask themselves the same questions and are making the same tradeoffs as Johnny Harris even though they’re in a different mode of journalism than he is. And hopefully they will have the same standards of accuracy and integrity that they are holding him to.

  • @phannhatanh4692
    @phannhatanh4692 Před rokem

    - They change the normal model to a new one in which they hire curious people and let them know their job, the facilitator/ editor helps them to surround with what they are not good at -> new creators can wear many hats
    - Aesthetic matters even in the news. It hooks people in and watches for a long time because it's compelling and fun to watch
    - The process: Sign up form to ask people what they should cover -> research already and have enough information instead of reading through the internet
    - Formula : visual anchor and bridge

    Hey there! Since this video is all about video journalism, I couldn't help but wonder if anyone here is running a channel similar to Harris, where they explain various cases or if there are any content creators in this space (documentaries/journalism). I'd love to lend a hand - I'm a video editor myself, so if you need any assistance, feel free to drop a comment below.

    Re: the topic of researching Chinese encroachment on Hong Kong: I wonder if your sources ever revealed to you the number of businesses here in Hong Kong that jumped on the tourist bandwagon and sought to encourage mainland Chinese tourism to Hong Kong, for the sake of Hong Kongers' own quick monetary gain. And the number of locals here who have not hesitated to sell their own real estate to Chinese mainlanders looking to live in Hong Kong, simply because those foreign investors were cash rich. So these people who are lamenting the encroachment of mainland China in HK essentially sold out their own city, and stood to profit from it. I hope that gives context to your sources and your fact-finding.

      "The Big Mac has been priced out of Hong Kong's most exclusive shopping strip to make way for yet another retailer eyeing the wallets of cashed-up mainlanders.
      Despite McDonald's being the world's largest chain of hamburger restaurants, it still could not afford the rents in Causeway Bay's Russell Street, and has been forced to move out.
      Operated by McDonald's Corp, the restaurant opened on the first floor of 8 Russell Street in 2006."

    I have a tip for journalists (interviewers). Just shut up and listen. Too many journalists nowadays feel the need to talk the entire time. While in reality people are interested in the person who is being interviewed, not the interviewer. Unless you do it in a "narrator" style kinda like Johnny Harris.

    • @TheThinkersBible
      @TheThinkersBible Před 11 měsíci

      Well unfortunately quite often those things actually are true. Johnny tends to focus on the stories you don’t hear on mainstream news, stories that the protagonists in those scenarios find uncomfortable. There are always stories about how nice China is as a market of 1 billion people and how capitalism is all about individual merit - the other sides of the story are the areas that genuinely need correction and without this kind of reporting the abuses that happen never get corrected. All the corrections to those abuses and other problems happen because they’re reported on in a way that makes it clear they’re important issues to address.
