ChicagoTribune.com's Live Video

The Chicago Tribune has been experimenting with live video for the past four years. Over that time it has become such a master at the technology behind live-casting that the newspaper now helps other Tribune Co. publications, such as Newsday and The Los Angeles Times, with their broadcasting needs.
"We have the architecture in place and the servers already running," says Mark Hinojosa, associate managing editor (editorial multimedia) for the Chicago Tribune. "We do a lot of services for our sister papers."
During the current presidential election, the Tribune helped the L.A. Times set up a live-cast of the Democratic presidential debate, lending both its expertise and its servers. It also live-streamed results from the Iowa caucuses and from the New Hampshire primary.
And, on Super Tuesday, it broadcast six 15-minute video casts every hour, linking up with the political staff of other Tribune Co. publications, in Los Angeles, New York and Washington for results, reaction and interviews. Some of those live-casts were also broadcast on the Web sites of sister publications like the Baltimore Sun and the Orlando Sentinel.
