Who needs real TV? We have TPMtv.

I’m sick tonight, so I’m sitting at home coordinating with our staff in Manhattan over skype and periodically chatting on the phone with our video team from the floor of the convention.  On the floor, our Video Editor Ben Craw is shooting footage of our Managing Editor doing interviews and analysis in the midst of the chaos.  Using a Nokia N95 and Qik software, the video is streaming back to me live.  If it’s good, I instant message it to our News Editor Justin to put it on the front page.  At that point our Associate Editor takes the Qik video and uploads it to youtube to be motized.

It’s an experiment in progress, but it’s new media.

Earlier tonight, we livestreamed Hillary’s surprise appearance on the floor to official nominate Obama.  It was quite a moment, have a look:

    I’m impressed by how unflappable DK is.

    (Also, hi Andrew. I’ve been reading your blog since a little after I finished my internship in March, but this is the first time I’ve commented.)
