Photographers beware? Monthly magazine 'The Digital Journalist' departed from its normal photojournalist position this month, instead dedicating its content solely to the growing field of video journalism.

Ken Kobré who runs his own site 'The KobreGuide.com', takes over as editor for the issue, in which the “Webs best video journalism” is displayed, which is increasingly relevant to professional photographers with the introduction of video capabilities on cameras such as the Canon 5D Mark II. Many column inches are given, promoting the use of Video as a journalistic format on the web.

The Digital Journalist describes how many news organisations were originally reluctant to embrace the technology, but established new sites such as The New York Times have led the way recently; even picking up a 'Peabody award', the first for a web outlet. The work of Colin Mulvany is chosen as the cover story, a photographer who reinvented himself as a multimedia journalist, who explains: “As the newspaper industry melted down and retrenched, I became uncertain as to what my future held.” How many times has that been said. Though a move that has worked for him it seems, judge for yourself here; and to show that his photographic skills are still sharp, here.

A good read is an intriguing interview with award-winning Reuters photographer Lucy Nicholson, who is another example of turning pictures turning into moving pictures.

The photography-to-video relationship is apparent in this video, describing how an iconic photograph of a soldier in the Iraq war has affected the lives of both the soldier and photographer.
