China bans youtube…again

Twitter is being used for advertising. Thoughts? Or it’s ruining our lives….

And last but not least, cable and phone comanies are trying to get your business by having more community news channels. Do we need more local news, other than what’s already covered? Do we need a station just for 24 hour local news and weather? What does that implications might that have for the quality of the news? (sorry no link for this story)

Cross-posted at my place.

MCTV will meet every Wednesday starting at 12:30pm-1:30pm for the rest of this semester. Tapings will occur (also from 12:30-1:30) on the following Friday’s: tomorrow March 27th, April 3rd, April 17th* and May 1st. We need all the help we can get to make our tapings a success. The TV studio will be open before taping begins so you can stop by ahead of time for training, assigments, etc.

Hope you see you there!  For more information conact Lisa Vanvalkinburgh or Brianna Broad.

*INCite magazine will also be released this day.
