Emergency Cheese

Last I checked, as in about 1 minute ago, James Kotecki had 531 subscriptions to his video series (Emergency Cheese) critiquing political videos. And 11,392 views. He's broadcasting on YouTube and has political candidates paying attention. One more huge example of how the news/current events media world is changing -- not to mention the political scene. That's the topic of a video, "The forced and fascinating marriage of technology and politics," posted on the ASNE (American Society of Newspaper Editors -- which is considering a name change to reflect newspapers' migration online) blog for its conference, in session as I write and for the rest of the week. The ASNE Reporter video refers to Kotecki, another indication he's made his mark. I just upped his subscription rate by one.
