Vine
Less than a week after Twitter launched its short video tool, it is curating some of the most interesting experiments with Vine. Vinepeek and Vineroulette also display short videos as they’re published. Newsrooms are using Vine to show personality, show studios and show process.

Rob Tornoe used it to show how a cartoon was created:


WVEC’s Mike Lopez showed viewers a live shot coming together:

WCCO reporter Jason DeRusha used Vine to tease a newscast segment:


ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer teased a newscast with Vine, but the video has disappeared:


Studio and office tours take listeners/viewers/readers behind the scenes and introduce them to the people they hear/watch/read (this may seem silly to journalists, but if you’ve ever given someone an IRL newsroom tour, you know even the most jaded cynic loves the view from inside the fishbowl):
