Why Tuesday?

Jacob Soboroff just happened to be passing through town on the same night our DC Media Makers meeting was taking place. He showed up and talked a bit about video blogging and the Why Tuesday? project. I remember hearing about Why Tuesday? on the news, back during the last election. If nothing else, it's a great example of what can be done with the technology we all now have readily at hand and a bit of effort. Is the finished product smooth and glitzy like a PR firm produced PSA? Nope. And that's one of the things that makes grass-roots journalism and activism work. We're all sick of being sold to and told what to do. Better to let our own voices be heard, no matter how rough around the edges they may be.
