Youtube Teaching Journalism
Jun 29th
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.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the reason you cant see any of my videos on youtube is because they decided that they are god and can control us all. Take heed everyone, I did nothing wrong and did not violate any terms of their service yet they still took my account down and removed every video I have. I ask that anyone think twice before using their services again. Upload your videos to vimeo, a higher quality video company that treats their users with respect and makes sure they save all content just incase accidents happen.
*UPDATE* Trying to get anywhere with Youtube/Google is just like trying to fly off a building and succeed. I ended up having to create a new Youtube account so could all of you please follow me and add me as a friend there? Subscribe to my Youtube account, please, thanks!

The shit has finally hit the fan. Youtube removed my account because of my Taking a Shit clip. The clip had no nudity in it and if any cursing, it was very minimum. Not like noone on YouTube curses. But anyway they seen it fit to remove my account. So you know what I say to YouTube now, if they do not bring my account back up, you know, I dont even know. But I am so damn pissed this morning. I cant even type anymore. So without further ado, here is the email sent to me :
