The new platforms for videos, in addition to the apps, are changing the way to communicate.

The Buggles sang “Video killed the radio star” to state the importance of the video clip in the early 80’s against the, until then, way of listening to music: the radio.

In order to inform, the video became the most powerful tool to communicate in comparison with the radio and the press.

The arrival of the TV allowed millions of people could know the faces of the main actors in the History, without the necessity of having been in the place where the History happened.

The ‘boom’ of Internet made the video more important as the best platform to inform, and with the social networks, new apps are being used to inform in TV News.

Skype or Vine are beginning to have presence as a correct platform in order to inform, where the content is more important that the quality of the image or sound.

The video cameras, in constantly improving, have found out in the Go-Pro the necessary tool to record situations where the conventional cameras cannot be used, and, of course, these recordings are used in the TV News as well.
