Current Status: Online news video visionary

Changing The Game By: Transforming the way news is consumed on the Web. Yes, all the networks are now offering their content on embeddable video players, but MSNBC.com was the first, becoming the Internet’s go-to source for breaking news and commentary and claiming what might otherwise have been YouTube’s traffic as its own. Tillinghast has kept up the innovation by streaming content live, introducing unique video landing pages for each MSNBC show, and developing video apps for mobile devices.

Killer Quote: “There are no TV journalists anymore. There are video journalists. When somebody from NBC News goes out in the field ... they're shooting a piece that will show up on ‘Nightly,’ on MSNBC cable, on MSNBC.com, on a mobile device. The point is it's all about video and all the places that people can watch video.”
