Now See This: Video Production Moves Beyond Media Companies

USA Today’s David Lieberman writes about the growth of online video production, “as the audience for clips soars and production and distribution costs plummet,” he writes.

Colleges also find that potential applicants often prefer video to print catalogs. Since the online “distribution is close to free,” says Rhode Island School of Design’s Becky Bermont, the college was able to cut its admission budget by 20% last year.
