The story of the first newspaper journalists in the UK to turn to Video journalism. They brought no visual or technical skills with them, but a passion to learn, patience to understand, and a need to know how. In the ensuing months their video journalism skills would reap huge rewards. They'd also begin to break national stories. Their trainer and veteran video-journalist, David Dunkley Gyimah, one of the first video-journalists in the UK in 1994 tells the story of how they cracked video-journalism in 8 days. Something you could do too.
