Make a news video for "Current TV."

[Eric J in MN]

I've read some negative reviews of "Current TV" and and some helpful suggestions.

But people who own a video camera (or have a friend who owns a video camera) can now do more than criticize or offer advice.

Make a news video and upload it:

Let’s redefine the news. Shoot a story the traditional news media doesn’t know about, or won’t touch. Whether it’s an expose or an interview, your point of view matters – but so do the facts.

Issue
Gay marriage. Drug laws. Stem cells. It's the stuff that divides us -- and shows us who we are. Pick a side or bridge the gap, and help us make the abstract real and relevant.


Lies
This is your chance to dissect the news. Show us what the media is saying -- and how it's misleading, incomplete, or just plain untrue.


News Current
Here's where we re-invent the news. Important stories? Check. Point of view? Check. Insatiable curiosity? Double-check.

Undercurrent
Pick up on a story the mainstream media doesn't know about -- or chooses to ignore.

1. I think the Sheehan story down in Crawford would make a great story...

for the new Current-TV station. Are you listening Will Pitt?

4. Thanks. More recommend's encouraged.

Talented DU-ers can turn "Current TV" into a good channel.

5. I understand a radio station in San Francisco in the 60's always ended its

news broadcasts with the suggestion: "If you don't like the news, go
out and make some of your own."

6. Thanks to Al Gore, anyone here who can write or direct or

narrate a short video can work with others to make a news video which might get shown on tv.

7. I think the Cindy story which is buzzing on DU would do good on C-TV

9. So Current is like a video blog??

10. They also have hosts.

And only 25% of the videos are made by the public so far, though that is supposed to increase.

11. People with video talents: now is a chance to use it to help Al Gore.
