Youtube Teaching Journalism
Post By : Damien Benoit

Over the weekend, YouTube launched a new channel dubbed Reporters’ Center, which it hopes will prove to be a good way to educate existing and aspiring citizen journalists on how to report news in ‘the digital age’. The new resource will feature a host of top journalists and media experts sharing instructional videos with tips and advice for better reporting.
So far, there are 34 videos uploaded to the channel, featuring people like Facebook Marketing Director Randi Zuckerberg providing 8 tips on how to maximize distribution of your YouTube video on the social network her brother famously co-created, and folks like CBS News’ Katie Couric and legendary Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward explaining how to conduct a good interview and how to be an investigative reporter, respectively.
The idea is sound and some of the content is rather good, and I’m sure it will provide a helpful resource for citizen reporters across the globe. Of course, it serves YouTube’s interests as well when more and more people take up the habit of filming whatever happens in their neighborhood and upload the videos to the wildly popular sharing site afterwards.
If you have any tips to share, you can also upload your own videos to the channel.

I started getting back into playing with making mixtapes using Virtual DJ. Its been a while since I used it and it got alot better lately. So since I stream a live show all the time alot of the viewers asked if I would just start recording some of the stuff that I mix together. I will really get more into it soon and have a few mixtapes done before my album is finished anyway and I love doing the live mixing.
