Behind the Ponies

CBS’ 60 Minutes did a piece on polo and they’ve posted a behind-the-scenes video of how they learned to shoot the game. Interesting to see the thought process behind it and their willingness to go back and get it right. A little sad watching the GoPro meet its demise … (Thanks to the Poynter Institute’s Al Tompkins for the link.)

Note: Victims Should Not Be Used As Platforms

Not even sure where to start with this … a television journalist used a victim as a perch while delivering his report on flooding in northern India. We could play Ethics Bingo with this one … (Thanks to Sue Newhook for the link.)

Video That Matters
