Well done to MotorCycleNews (MCN) on their efforts to step up the quality of their video production.
Regular subscribers to this blog will know that I am a big fan of high quality content, whether it's written word or video. MCN's paper coverage is a good standard, however it's a major income source in the past has been it's classifieds. With eBay stealing a large chunk of this, the paper's classifieds section has become thinner smaller over the years. With the Internet, I would imagine that paper sales have been falling like other papers.
MCN have been producing their YouTube channel for sometime, but usually at an appalling, amateur standard - terrible sound and a single fixed camera.
Yesterday, they posted a video in excellent production quality, and the comments demonstrate this - the majority of them commenting on the production quality.
MCN top and tail their content with a promotion for their classifieds. It's a first attempt at monetisation, but they should be extending this with captions and other YouTube functionality. As a regular reader, I wish them luck.
