What Does New Media Look Like?

Quick snapshot between races today to provide a flavor of the real-time reporting:

Baseball is underway with Troy at Baum Stadium. There is an audio stream for RazorVision members via RSP's headquarters in Auburn, a video stream for RazorVision (with audio track from RSP) that is going out via the website for members. We have the usual live stats streaming from Baum also, plus one of our New Media students in the press box providing a pair of Twitter feeds.

From @ArkRazorbacks, we only give the inning scoring updates. For home events, those who want to get the play-by-play, that comes out through @RazorbackRoad.

I'm next door at the Randal Tyson Track Center today, doing the same type of feeds. Every race result goes out on @RazorbackRoad, but with the hash tag #SECIndoor, to allow folks to pick up the results. When a Razorback wins or has an impact performance, that doubles over to @ArkRazorbacks.

Our New Media Video Production team is here in Tyson to provide a free live feed of the event. By the way, when you are deciding the "value" of doing Olympic sports, keep this stat in mind. For the past five years, we have our highest traffic days for SEC and NCAA track meets.

In addition, we've got video coming in from our AMR staffers at softball (already transcoded and posted in Flash) and basketball. There's a live audio stream from women's basketball plus those stats streaming over from Georgia.

And that's before we pack up the show and head east to Duluth for the SEC this week.
