We're so excited to get to work with journalists across the U.S. to build a bank of footage that will make it easier for newsrooms and journalists anywhere in the world cover the elections. And we're just getting started. More footage incoming!

2 tired journalists at the end of a US election coverage shift. We just wrapped publishing footage sent in by journalists across the U.S. Our footage album has more than 300 free-to-use, with attribution, clips. It has been so fun coordinating with journalists across 7 states.

The election results are in and Trump will lead the US. Just a reminder to journalists covering the election results today, we have a fantastic bank of free footage from across the country by 7 journalists and videographers. Access their clips at inold.news/us2024

The hype around artificial intelligence (AI) for generating images & written content often overshadows the technology's incredible ability to reduce mundane tasks. Sanshey Biswas and I explore AI's applications in conservation in our latest documentary: youtu.be/PrRxAK2VGjg

It's no surprise that audiences primarily get their news on social platforms. But what I didn't know is that 77% of 'news influencers' in the US don't have a background in journalism. In our first newsletter of 2025, Shuchita Jha explores what the consequences of this could be.

EJCP at Newmark J+ gave me the confidence to chase new opportunities, helped Sanshey Biswas and I clarify our mission and develop our business model. And I got to make connections with a great cohort of other entrepreneurial journalists. I have such fond memories of our sessions.
