YouTube and PBS Have Joint Effort to Monitor Polling Places on November 4

Author: Added: 10/15/2008 Duration:306.921 http://www.beet.tv/2008/10/youtube-and-pbs.html NEW YORK -- YouTube and PBS have put in place a joint program to solicit, organize, stream and broadcast user-generated video from polling places around the nation on election day, November 4. The program is called "Video Your Vote." According to Steve Grove, head of news and politics at YouTube, the effort is aimed to "increase the transparency" of the voting process, including potential problems. Voters will be encouraged to bring video cameras or video-enabled camera phones to the polling place. The voter-generated videos will be populated on YouTube and on PBS as part of its election night coverage. Kelsey interviewed Steve yesterday at the Time CNN Politics Summit. Mashable reported on the program yesterday. Update: YouTube just issued this press release on the initiative. -- Andy Plesser, Executive Producer
