National Journal's Tech Daily Dose

Campaign 2008

Thursday, August 23, 2007

National Journal's Beltway Blogroll says:

Add MTV to the list of citizen media innovators in the 2008 campaign. The music network that made "Choose or Lose" a part of the political vocabulary is recruiting young folks from every state and the District of Columbia to write stories, produce online videos and take photos on the campaign trail. The effort is being underwritten in part by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. MTV won a $700,000 grant for the mobile youth journalists in the Knight News Challenge.

Meanwhile, Technology Daily's AM Edition reports that social-networking site MySpace and MTV plan to bring together the 2008 presidential hopefuls and young voters for real-time, online conversations. The top candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties will participate, each holding individual dialogues with voters.
