Summary

President elect Obama will bring the President's weekly "fireside chat" into the 21st century by offering it not just on the radio, but in video on YouTube as well. It's as if the new President really cares whether the next generation has a connection to his regular work. That's where the people are - on YouTube, on MySpace and on Facebook. In some ways it's a small thing - but in other ways it is huge.



The Washington Post covered Obama's plans this morning and reported that a number of other officials in the administration will be posting regular videos as well. We found the story via some light coverage at CNet.

Is This For Real?

Some people are already saying that posting to YouTube is just the strategy of the week for pandering to young people. They point out that Obama's account on Twitter, almost the most popular account on the service, has been dead silent since the election ended.



Posting to YouTube is different though. It's repurposing media, cross posting it, it's simple. The Obama campaign has already posted almost 2000 videos to its YouT

@RyanCorcoran yeah, seriously. Did they specifically call out youtube or just online video in general?

@jasongoldberg It only says web video on Change.gov the original source but considering Obama had his own web channel on youtube though the election id say assuming it will be posted to youtube is pretty safe.

Fantastic! I know Obama received a lot of negative feedback from the seizing of using his twitter account and a lot of people didn't know this had to do with the "rules" following being elected. I think this will be a great comeback as far as sending a message out about his commitment to communicating with the people.

Twitter is quiet because Obama's aids forced him off the Internet and... specifically his Blackberry. It'd be nice as someone from the Transition Team took that up again though.

Wow...great to see how informed all the nObama voters are [that was sarcasm]. The Presidential Weekly Radio Address has been going on for many years. I believe FRD started with the Firside Chats, and Reagan started doing the weekly radio address and they have continued with each President since. And we entered the "21st" century when Bush made them available on the internet at www.whitehouse.gov/news/radio. You can even subscribe via rss. So nObama isn't really doing anything new or innovative. It is a natural progression to incorporate video, especially now that most US internet users are on DSL or Broadband/Cable. If you want to "know what your leader is up to" it is up to YOU to find out! Knowing what your leaders are up to might require reading/listening to/watching the news too...sheesh!

@RyanCorcoran Yeah, I like to know what they are up to as well, that's why I read/listen to/watch the news. I don't wait for them to come to me with a generic update.

* I had a couple typos, 1) firside should be fireside and 2) I should have typed FDR, instead of FRD. Honest error, twisted fingers.

@cabradio I wasn't saying this could replace the news for political news. As far as I am concerned both is good. I like the idea of hearing it directly from the guys mouth. if its from him its more likely to be true then news. I don't know about you but I look at a bunch of news sources and don't take everything at face value before i consider it good news.

@RyanCorcoran What you failed to recognize is that the President has been doing WEEKLY radio addresses for decades now. Reagan started doing them weekly. GW Bush made them available via RSS off the www.whitehouse.gov/news/radio website. Direct Info from the President HAS BEEN available. You just think it's Obama's idea. Video is Radio with pictures. He isn't doing ANYTHING new or innovative with this "video channel". It is just a progression with the technology that is now READILY available/accessible by most Americans (i.e. even those that don't have internet probably know someone who does, or can access via the Library for free).
