They started with the Iowa primary and have been going strong since. Brave New Films and The Young Turks are teaming up to bring us their unique brand of election coverage. I caught a bit of their show during the Iowa primary and was impressed not only with the cool technology (streaming video, community blogging) but that these two have created a new partnership that continues to leverages the resources that each media outlet offers and comes up with an interesting model for election coverage. And they are funny.
You should check it out. And not just cause I think Cenk rocks.
Here’s the note from BNF.
Hello friends,
Brave New Films and The Young Turks are back with all night coverage of Super Tuesday election returns. We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response to our coverage of South Carolina, New Hampshire and Iowa, and we’re going all out tonight to bring you the smartest, most in-depth and exciting progressive coverage anywhere.
You will get the inside scoop from movement all-stars like Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Sherrod Brown, DNC Chair Howard Dean, The Huffington Post’s Arianna Huffington, MoveOn.org’s Eli Pariser, and legendary organizer Dolores Huerta.
Our revolutionary new format completely bypasses the gatekeepers in the corporate media, and unlike TV, you can watch it at work (or at least those of us with desk jobs), in any country, and without commercial interruptions. We’ll have the most up-to-date returns, and a team of folks answering your questions and explaining the ins and outs of how this crazy democracy works. And you can participate live, by sending in tips, commenting and voting in instant polls.
WHAT: Super Tuesday with Brave New Films and the Young Turks, hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz.
