Blog….the next step
Over at Stephen Taylor’s site he has a video interview with the ever twitchy Ann McLellan. She has a few harsh things to say about Ted Morton and thinks the Liberal convention is going to more exciting the more ballots there are.
What is interesting is that with not much more than a handheld video camera and You-Tube, Steve is doing pretty much the same thing as CPAC. A bit of image stabilization and someone else to hold the camera and Steve would be his own TV show every bit as well done as the average news cast.
Now, as I watch the CBC and its lamer buddies in MSM-TV ask the CRTC for a subscription fee and more advertising time I can’t help but think that Steve is on to something. Seriously, if all the bloggers at the Liberal convention had video cameras and there were a couple of people willing to edit tape and provide commentary there would be a fascinating bit of coverage at next to no cost. And, I suspect there would be a fair number of people willing to contribute a little money to see such coverage.
The CBC should be very, very worried.
Hmm…., maybe we can take up a collection for Steve – a tripod and a wireless remote for Christmas?
I’m surprised that we’re not seeing more individual videos coming out of the convention as yet – I was expecting a lot more.
I often have the same feeling regarding Greg Staples Hotstove Podcasts. They have lately been my must listen item every week. All he really needs to do is fix up his audio a little and he could have a very professional product available to compete with anything currently on radio.
