Paul Bradshaw has provided a handy round-up of [what happened in the worlds of digital journalism in 2014](http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2014/12/26/a-review-of-online-journalism-in-2014-and-predictions-for-2015/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

Of note:

> **YouTube**. Media organisations are still overlooking YouTubers in the same way as they overlooked Vice, Buzzfeed et al. But there are serious non-mainstream publishers on there doing things differently.

It’s not just YouTube – there’s an entire culture of online video that’s going unreported by most mainstream media – including the whole [Twitch.tv](http://www.twitch.tv/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) gaming video industry. There are media businesses and celebrities growing here that look so different to what we think of as journalism that people aren’t joining the dots – yet.

Amazon did, though. It [acquired Twitch](http://blog.twitch.tv/2014/08/a-letter-from-the-ceo-august-25-2014/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) earlier in the year – for [$970m in cash](http://techcrunch.com/2014/08/25/amazon-will-officially-acquire-twitch/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).
