A total Gore?
By Jeremy | August 1, 2005
I'm not a fan of Al Gore (although a picture of me standing behind him at MTV studios appeared in a Newsweek article during his 1992 run for vice president). But I am intrigued by what I've read of Current TV, his "24-hour youth cable network" that launched today.
"The cable channel claims it will do nothing less than democratize television, giving anyone with a digital camera and a computer the kind of power that used to be enjoyed only by the mainstream media. Current TV will invite a young army of 'citizen journalists' to submit edgy 15-second-to-15-minute video segments that the network is calling 'pods.' The idea is that no one knows better than young people what will hold the attention of the elusive, tech-savvy 18-to-34-year-old demographic." Full article here.
