SF Muni Story Produced Solo At Embarcadero BART In 2011 By Jonathan Bloom, KRON TV Channel 4
In 2021, some express surprise that one television reporter would go out by himself or herself to make a live report. But, as I explained on Twitter to ESPN’s Jenna Laine, the practice started at least 10 years ago. The video-blog you see is of KRON TV 4’s Jonathan Bloom, who I ran into as I was getting off the BART train at Embarcadero Station in 2011. I took time to vlog the moment because it was then very rare to see what’s now common today: solo tv news reporting by mainstream media outlets. I figured KRON should have taken the next step and used smartphones to do the work, but I guess that was too advanced for them at the time, let alone today.
Point is, the structural reduction in television revenue caused this practice some time ago, and it’s only going to continue. Anyone doing it should make sure they have paid up insurance in case they get hit by a car, or something.
But, again for Jenna Laine, the practice is common, but the fact is YouTube vloggers paved the way. The real fact is that so-called mainstream media types like for you to think they were the innovators, and not vloggers like me. It’s one more reason I started ZENNIE62MEDIA, INC: because white media tends to focus only on what someone white does, rather than give a view of who does it, regardless of color. Whole books have been written about this type of “video journalism” without mentioning that vloggers, like me, did it first, we just called it “video-blogging”.
Oh, and here’s the tweet I was referring to:
So she’s one-man banding by herself at night? 👎👎👎

That’s why I made the on-the-spot-vlog: to show everyone how true vloggers can get out a story much faster than the process used by mainstream media. Then, I was able to take my little FLIP Video Camera, input the video into my MacBook laptop, and upload what you saw to YouTube; today, I can livestream it using my iPhone or make and upload a video-file from my iPhone to YouTube, and from there it automatically becomes a blog post on Oakland News Now, on the spot.
I’ve Done This Style Of Vlogging Since 2006 And The NFL Draft In New York City
I have a long history of this style of on-the-scene video-blogging, and longer than KRON has done it for. Here’s my first YouTube video, and from the NFL Draft in 2006. This is at Chelsea Piers, and when the late Houston Texans Owner Bob McNair was talking about his thinking about who to pick in the NFL Draft 1st Round betwween Reggie Bush and Mario Williams:
Oh, he took Williams, out of North Carolina.
Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
