The New York Times has a video department of 18 video staff, but Ann Derry, the television editorial director, will also accept a host of freelance work from videojournalists. This video was shot by a staff videojournalist Kristyn Ulanday and staff reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg. It focused on the young generation of political enthusiasts known as millenials.
The video focuses on the Institute of Politics at Harvard University and a poll conducted with 18- to 29-year-olds concerned with the direction of national politics. Primarily, two interviews were conducted with members of the institute and what the findings of the poll produced. The video used B-roll of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and students at the local campus of Harvard who show an interest in the Obama Administration's direction for the nation, mostly gun rights and gun laws.
The reporting and research data infused with a lot of B-roll with the campus area and splattered with Obama addresses to the nation amid crises such as Sandy Hook show that most people between the ages of 18 and 29 are not for more strict gun laws. The two members of the Institute of Politics said data suggests there is actually a more evident rift forming between young adults and the Obama Administration, even though they thought results would show the opposite in the wake of so many national attacks lately that has strengthened the debate.
