« The 'Hillary tears up' video; New TV to get 2 Web sites; Tax rebates for all? | Main | Updated: Woman wins presidential primary » January 8, 2008Live streaming alt-N.H. primary coverage (liberal): Chat, videocast now, political bloggers live tonightI'm home with a bug, but feeling better now; had I been downtown, I wouldn't have found this ad hoc interactive New Hampshire primary news coverage: Caucus with Brave New Films & The Young Turks. Brave New Films* is the new media company serving as host Web channel. The Young Turks host a nationwide liberal talk show on Air America, on XM Radio and webcast. The page is clean and reader-focused, with no distractions, the main items all on one screen without feeling cluttered. The interface is efficient and simple. (The future of news...) A scrolling embedded live chat (pick a name on the fly and start typing) is, so far, attracting intelligent, thoughtful and civil posts; it's moderated, filtered. The embedded live video (Windows Media) works for me in Firefox. It's streaming Young Turk Cenk Uygur now, but here's the schedule of seasoned lefty bloggers and commentators offering live video coverage there tonight. So far, 7:10: Robert Greenwald, Brave New Films *(From Brave New Films' Meet us page: Robert Greenwald is a producer, director and political activist. Greenwald is the director/producer of several documentaries: Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers" (2006), an expose of what happens when corporations go to war; as well as "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" (2005), detailing the retail giant's assault on families and American values; and "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" ) Note: "Video problems? Yeah, we don't like windows media either, but it's what we have for now. On the PC, get the latest WMP, or Mac users can install Flip 4 Mac." The link again. (I'll look for a similar conservative site, and post it if I find one.) Posted by Sheila Lennon |
