Blue Chalk Media launches NewsDox with ‘Tale of Two Bridges’

Dumbo’s Blue Chalk Media is doing a series of journalistic videos alongside major news brands, according to a post on the company’s blog. This new effort is called NewsDox:

The films are the first major initiative to come from a new unit of Blue Chalk designed to report and produce visual journalism in association with major news organizations and knowledge brands. The Living City series was produced as a collaboration with The New York Times video department and the paper’s metro desk.

Series producer for Living City is Melanie Burford, a founding member of Prime Collective, adjunct assistant professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and part of the team of Dallas Morning News photographers who received the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography for coverage of Hurricane Katrina.
