Better health, better media?


Take a look at this post from the Big Think site. It's about 5 ways to improve your health. Yeah, that's great and all, but note the format.

Are short video clips such as this, with the transcribed text attached below, a sort of evolutionary step in journalism? Is this sort of multimedia approach where all "news" and information (such as health or science and political information) should be headed in order to keep up with technology and the changing tastes of an ever more discriminating media audience?

Check out other expert video spots on Big Think and ponder how you may (have or have not) given the topic much time had you simply seen it in a magazine or newspaper. Does format matter or is it just about good writing and interesting information?
