Wall Street Journal Covers Geovlogging at CCTV

December 2nd, 2006

Exciting news from CCTV!

“Diana Ransom of the Wall Street Journal writes, ‘Cambridge Community Television, a public-access Web site serving Cambridge, Mass., offers a seminar course that has students create documentaries about neighborhoods in the city. The videos will be geotagged and inserted into a Google map of the city. When people click on a small icon overlaid on a certain street, they might see a short profile of a local nonprofit or a community figure. Eli Kao, the site’s online community developer, expects the program’s approach to ‘portray a living, breathing community in a way not possible with traditional maps and demographic data.’”

Another great example of innovative uses of technology happening in Public Access TV. To learn more, visit Community Media in Transition.
