A Congressional First, Coming Soon To YouTube
Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., made what he believed was congressional history on Thursday by shooting a brief video of a House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Internet hearing, which he planned to post on YouTube.
During his opening statement, Markey said the footage would be the first-ever YouTube clip of a hearing from the chairman's perspective. Then, Markey whipped out his video camera and asked the panel of witnesses to wave in his direction. He panned the room, soliciting waves from his colleagues, lobbyist-laden audience and press corps.
The hearing, which focused on the future of video, featured YouTube CEO Chad Hurley; Sling Media CEO Blake Krikorian; MediaFLO President Gina Lombardi; Benjamin Pyne, president of affiliate sales and marketing for Disney and ESPN Networks; TiVo CEO Thomas Rogers; and "Everybody Loves Raymond" creator Phil Rosenthal.
Once Markey's clip is on YouTube, I'll be sure to post it on Tech Daily Dose. Stay tuned!
