GroundReport just got a great opportunity through Talk To US: bring the voices and faces of global citizen journalists to national television program Worldfocus.
Every month we ask a question on news perspectives, and the most compelling video response is aired on TV for hundreds of thousands. It’s a big deal for us, but a bigger deal for citizen journalism— and a tall order. We need to find the best video from across the globe. This is why I would like to ask for your help.
Our first question is ‘What’s your advice for President Barack Obama?’
Please share this email with your networks of citizen journalists, activists, video producers and brilliant, engaged citizens. Or even better— post a video response yourself. This is an amazing way to bring attention to your cause, issue or mission. If you are part of a citizen journalism entity, we can feature your logo as well.
To respond, log in to http://GroundReport.com and upload your video of advice for Obama— all videos on GroundReport are automatically entered.
Or, if you’d prefer, visit the video page on YouTube, log in, and upload your video directly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlVSQ8zzHsE
The deadline is next week, so time is of the essence.
I’ve designed my work
I’ve designed my work priorities to test all the ways people can save gasoline usage and “save the planet”, by NOT going to work every day. Because I have a lot of different skills, I beta test all of the available technology for usefulness, reliability, and practicality. Efficiency and economic savings are a given…. whenever you don’t have to pay for office space at $130+ Sq.Ft., or office utilities get a ged online, or coffee and bagels (the list goes on and on), then you have just paved the way to changing the attitudes about work and the necessity to congregate in person every day for 10 hours a day.
