RTDNA Webinar - 'Video-Free-For-All'
Building a successful online video strategy isn't the easiest of tasks. With basic news packages, raw video, user-generated content and hand-held video all at your disposal, it's no surprise that you may have found yourself asking, "Well, what works best?" You're certainly not alone.
Building upon RTDNA's successful session at the ONA Conference, we've asked our expert panel to join us to revisit ways to help your organization produce and use video in the most compelling way possible. The panel will also stick around to answer all of your online video questions.
Join us on November 4, 2009 at 1 p.m. ET for RTDNA's first-ever webinar. Registration is free to RTDNA members. Non-members can join the session for $14.95. No special equipment is needed for this webinar; you will receive all the information you need to participate by e-mail.
