It’s hard not to notice Shira Lazar these days on the internet. She’s been the go-to choice for covering tech events, social media pow-wows and yes, even the Streamy Awards. Her Qik-enabled iPhone is known to capture those semi-candid kind of interviews that fall somewhere between tech journalism and lifecasting.
And as a web series host, she’s been brought on for a number of hosting roles— taking over for Leah D’Emilio on This Week in YouTube and recurring stints on TechStyle and This Week in Startups. Now the Montreal native may have found a more stable online home, singing on with CBSNews.com working as Los Angeles correspondent for Mo Rocca’s new web series, The Tomorrow Show, and with her own regular blog on the site.
On the Scene with Shira is name of her new CBS blog, and though this means more writing Lazar said video will remain a central part of her coverage. She still will be popping out that Flip camera she tells us, adding an extra level of access to her pieces. He first post which went up yesterday was complete with a off guard Katie Couric, now a CBS colleague to Lazar, meeting her for the first time.
