From wireless to YouTube
The internet fuelled Barack Obama's campaign, and now he is returning the compliment by posting video of the weekly presidential radio address online. On Friday, the president-elect recorded the Democrats' response to President George Bush's weekly radio address in Chicago. As well as the microphone, Obama was to face a video camera, and the resulting four-minute clip was to be posted as a YouTube link on his transition website, www.change.gov. It is part of Obama's pledge to open up government by making it more transparent. Other members of his transition team and, eventually, his cabinet are expected to post regular videos online. 'No president-elect or president has ever turned the radio address into a multimedia opportunity before,' Obama's transition team explained in a statement. 'This is just one of many ways that President-elect Obama will communicate directly with the American people and make the White House and the political process more transparent.' (The Guardian)
