How the Moving Image Has Become the Medium of Record: Part 2
Briefly

The article highlights a growing epistemological crisis driven by the overwhelming number of moving-image messages in our daily lives. It points out that while traditional media has established citation standards (like bibliographies for scientific papers), there is currently no systematic way to cite sources from online videos and television. The forthcoming book, "The Moving Image: A User's Manual," aims to fill this gap by providing guidelines and examples for the citation of moving images, helping to establish a framework for recognizing these increasingly influential media forms.
Without a structured framework for citing online videos, and tele­vision programs, we express a paralysis in how to validate truths and narratives.
The lack of citation protocols for moving images is creating confusion in how we can refer back to these sources in traditional media formats.
The Mov­ing Image: A User's Man­u­al aims to address the citation gap in modern media by providing specific guidelines and examples.
We've entered an epistemological nightmare with the overload of moving-image messages, necessitating a comprehensive guide for understanding and citing these sources.
