I have been doing this for a LONG time, and have pitched and presented the VJ idea to innumerable news organizations (and others) around the world.

The perpetual question I always get asked is, "OK, this is fine for features, but not for real news'.

This morning on FB, I came across a reel posted by Rav Vadgama, a working VJ at ITV, and maybe one of the best in the business.   I first met him when he was one of our first in the world VJs at Channel One in London, a mere 25 years ago.  (is that even possible?)

Take a look at his, work.

He isn't called Rebel Without A Crew for nothing.  

Now, about that question about VJs and news???

In a recent study by The Reuters Institute, 40% of Americans no longer watch or read the news at all. They find it too depressing. All doom and gloom.


There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news. Viewership of TV news in general has fallen off, so naturally, TV executives across the boards are searching for a solution.
