Jim Kathman Olympics Videos

Thursday, June 26, 2008 http://www.beet.tv/2008/06/ampampampampamp.html International Olympics Committee Issues Unprecedented Restrictions on Digital Coverage of Beijing Games There might be a record number of video cameras in Beijing this summer, but the vamped up restrictions on digital rights the International Olympic Committee announced earlier this week will leave squadrons of TV teams and citizens journalists with a lot less to cover. NBC paid a record $894 million for rights to broadcast the games and understandably wants to make sure no one encroaches, but the IOC has made even press conferences off limits for Internet broadcast, according to a report by SportsBusiness Daily published earlier this week. Digital rights restrictions have existed at past Olympics, but Beijing will be the first time online video, from both mainstream media and citizen journalists, will pervade the games. AP to send 300 staffers to Beijing The Associated Press will have over 300 staffers in Beijing this summer–more than any other news organization. The AP will produce seven to 10 original video clips a day, covering everything from athlete profiles to steroid scandals to protests. Yesterday Andy and I visited the global headquarters of the AP in Manhattan to interview Jim Kathman, Global Director of Sports Products, about about plans for this summer. We wonder with all the video resources of the AP and others if it will be easy to cover the games without fear of retribution by the IOC. — Kelsey Blodget, Associate Producer Editor’s Note: Great to welcome Kelsey Blodget to the staff of Beet.TV as associate producer and blogger. Kelsey just graduated Dartmouth where she was an editor at The Dartmouth, the student newspaper. She has also been a contributor to the Silicon Alley Insider, but is no relation to Henry. Great to have her at the purple channel. — Andy Plesser
