The People’s House
March 7th, 2007 by Speaker Pelosi
As a strong advocate for open and transparent government, I am pleased that C-SPAN is expanding access with “Creative Commons” licensing to its extensive video coverage of federal government activities.

The House of Representatives is called the People’s House for a reason and as Speaker, I am committed to ensuring our government is fully accessible and transparent. This decision, along with our work to webcast committee hearings, is a solid start.

I am proud to join citizen journalists and bloggers in the rapidly expanding field of web video, and you will continue to find video coverage of what Congress is doing for the American people right here on The Gavel.

Cable Network Introduces New Copyright Policy and Expanded Capitol Hearings Website....
· C-SPAN is introducing a liberalized copyright policy for current, future, and past coverage of any official events sponsored by Congress and any federal agency-- about half of all programming offered on the C-SPAN television networks--which will allow non-commercial copying, sharing, and posting of C-SPAN video on the Internet, with attribution.

· In addition, C-SPAN also announced plans to significantly build out its capitolhearings.org website as a one-stop resource for Congressionally-produced webcasts of House and Senate committee and subcommittee hearings.
