Hey all, In TV broadcasting we have "public broadcasting" channels lik PBS (USA), DR (Denmark) or ZDF (Germany). You also have public service announcements in other media.
But what about Public Service Vlogs? Within the vlogosphere, there are a diverse group of "green vlogs" that focus on individual efforts to reduce our waste and emissions, and we have other projects like "Alive in Baghdad" ( http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org) which is a collaborative effort over two continents. But: * *Where is the videoblogger who uploads video from a refugee camp in Darfur or Gaza, showing the world what life is like there and taking questions from comments on the site? Where is the educational videoblog that guides you through the jungle of NGOs out there that deal with development aid in countries such as Nepal or Uganda? Where is the videoblog that is your window to the world of a bunch of youngsters in Queens, NY, giving you the opportunity to interact with them and support them in their fight for more areas to safely hang out? Where are the videoblogs consistently giving updates from New Orleans as it is *today*? Wont it be great when governments and other granting organizations start to realize the potential for video on the net, aggregated through RSS 2.0 with enclosures? Wont it be great if Alive in Baghdad - for instance - could simply focus on creating independent, high quality work and not on where they will get the donations/funding they need? Do you know of any good videoblogs that you might term "public service vlogs"? Altruistic vlogs that deserve a wider audience? Please give your links here or as a comment on http://dltq.org/?p=88 Best regards, Raymond M.
