            <div property="schema:text" class="article--body field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Video and radar ruled media coverage of Hurricane Irma on Sunday, with the <i>Washington Post </i>providing a tidy case study in how aggressive expansion of video resources holds consumers in good stead at such a moment.</p>
<p>Be it live video from a Miami high-rise, Facebook Live coverage from Sanibel Island or images to show how storms are literally yanking water away from shorelines in the Bahamas and leaving them dry, many thousands of well-reported written words were amply complemented by evocative moving and still images.</p>
<p>Few "old" print media have invested in video capabilities like the Post and New York Times, be it dozens of daily breaking news stories, explainers, mini-documentaries or ones tailored for others platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. What works on those can be quite different than what's tailored for Washingtonpost.com</p>
<p>Video chief Micah Gelman started 2017 with a staff of 40. But in a sign of the times, especially under the ownership of Amazon's Jeff Bezos, that cadre is now up to 60. That includes about 20 video editors responsible for creating what Gelman calls "quick turn content," which includes its own coverage and, with Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, a mix of that of some others, such as the Associated Press and Reuters.</p>
<p>For the hurricanes, it's had about 10 video journalists in the field, supplemented with freelancers. During Harvey, they were deployed in Houston, Corpus Christi, Beaumont and Galveston. Their work included live shots and<a href="http://wapo.st/2vJIrJ8"> longer features stories</a>. Along they way, one team bought a canoe and was out with rescue workers, in the thick of the story.</p>
<p>Sunday, they were in Florida, most in groups of two for safety reasons, with the majority in South Florida. Two were headed to Tampa in a rented SUV with canisters of gasoline and equipment allowing them to go live from anywhere.</p>
<p>"Obviously, these are huge visual stories," Gelman said. "People stories. So we're probably among the most aggressive out there, making sure we have compelling storytelling. "</p>
<p>For sure, it's expensive, including making hotel reservations in multiple locales as they've tried to guess along with everybody else as to the storms' paths. But, so far, he says the paper has produced more than 1,000 separate videos on the storms, as well as lots of live shots and a <a href="http://wapo.st/2vJIrJ8">mini-documentary on Harvey</a> based on all its coverage.  On Saturday, it accompanied a hurricane hunter out of Biloxi, MS.</p>
<p>"We're spending what we need to spend. We obviously want to be good stewards of the company's money. But we have to be aggressive about coverage."</p>
<p>Notably, the <i>Post</i> under editor Marty Baron has been focused on supplementing an editorial staff of about 750 with a strong freelance network, initially in print, then video. "We put them on standby and then pulled the trigger," said Gelman. Bottom line: He's had a solid group of previously vetted individuals to call upon when needed.</p>
<p>As his two staffers were headed to Tampa, the others were elsewhere, including in a high-rise hotel in Miami and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/washpostvisuals/?hc_ref=ARQr36hujd-fJR6LBsWPPCbpk7k5tn4SwqnRldhz6PMsvMBFci28tmGVKijk-eL-1m8">two in Fort Myers</a>, where they'd just done Facebook Live from Sanibel Island. Those colleagues planned to ride out the storm Sunday night at a radio station and provide video.</p>
<p>Gelman, who carries the title of director of video and senior editor, previously worked at the Discovery Channel and the Associated Press.</p>
<p>He has reason to be satisfied. And not just with those braving the catastrophes but with many back at <i>Post</i> headquarters. Indeed, it's hard not to be impressed by the quality of the <i>Post’s</i> (and <i>Times’</i>) efforts the past week. The enormity and drama of the tragedies is being captured.</p>
<p>"I am beyond happy with the quality of the work, said Gelman. “We've got some of the most talented videojournalists working today. I think we're telling stories better than some of the TV networks.”</p>
<p>He also knows he's a lucky fellow to be employed where he is. During a chat several months ago, Gelman left no doubt that the new ownership of the newspaper was in and of itself an incentive to come and have an opportunity to flourish at moments like this.</p>
<p>"It's a phenomenal opportunity to be at a place that's growing. Jeff is an incredible attraction. I was in a declining TV world. This is a great chance to be on the front lines to figure out the future."</p>

        <a href="/channels/digital-tools" title="Tools make our journalism more powerful. They unleash our storytelling potential, unlock secrets in data, and help us share stories in new and compelling ways.

As newsroom ranks and audience attention spans shrink, tools are indispensable. Lucky for us, more and better ones are released every day.

Poynter’s Try This! —&amp;nbsp;Tools for Journalism is an effort to find, share and provide training around the best journalism tools. We understand that great tools can be difficult to find and harder to learn (though you’d be surprised how quickly some of them will make their way into your daily work). We&#039;re here to help.

This page is the home for all of our journalism tools articles. For more:


	Sign up for our digital tools newsletter&amp;nbsp;or read the archives&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
	Register for our latest free webinar: Find Stories in Data Faster and Collaborate Better with data.world &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;
	View our other tools tutorials
	Share a new tool or request training about a tool &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;
	Visit Google News Lab&#039;s training center and Knight Lab&#039;s tools projects (sponsored)


Try This! — Tools for Journalism is supported by Google News Lab as a part of a partnership with Poynter to help journalists find and use digital tools, including but not limited to Google&#039;s tools. This project is also supported by a generous gift from the American Press Institute and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, who fund a digital transformation project at Poynter. Poynter retains editorial control over site content.

        <a href="/channels/ethics" title="For 40 years, Poynter has guided professional newsrooms in developing ethical principles&amp;nbsp;to support journalism&#039;s role in&amp;nbsp;a healthy democracy. In&amp;nbsp;1981, when a&amp;nbsp;Pulitzer Prize-winning story in The Washington Post about&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;child heroin addict&amp;nbsp;turned out to be a hoax, Poynter convened industry leaders to identify and implement tighter ethical standards, as we did&amp;nbsp;in 2003 following&amp;nbsp;the Jayson Blair scandal at the New York Times.

Poynter trains&amp;nbsp;journalists to&amp;nbsp;avoid ethical failings&amp;nbsp;including conflicts of interest, bias and inaccuracy, and to uphold&amp;nbsp;best practices, such as transparency and accountability. With digital and audiovisual technology innovating at warp seed, news-gathering, storytelling and editing are changing and Poynter faculty help newsrooms keep ethics at&amp;nbsp;the forefront.&amp;nbsp;

At a time when public trust in media is low and&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;president has sought to discredit the press&amp;nbsp;as &quot;fake news,&quot;&amp;nbsp;it&#039;s more essential than ever that journalists be&amp;nbsp;accurate and accountable, shining a light on truth to sustain our democracy.

Poynter makes it easy to develop your&amp;nbsp;ethical decision-making, so you&#039;re ready for difficult situations:&amp;nbsp;


	Take our free online course, The Ethics of Journalism&amp;nbsp;(two hours).
	Watch&amp;nbsp;our free webinar on&amp;nbsp;The New Ethics of Journalism: A Guide for 21st Century (one hour).&amp;nbsp;
	Consider when to publish or air disturbing images:&amp;nbsp;Grappling with Graphic Images&amp;nbsp;(one hour).
