I'm part of a team of journalists in Chicago who have put together
something new that I thought might interest you. We are going
to cover the Pope’s visit to America in a new way.
We are working on a website called www.LiveNewsCameras.com
The concept is simple, let people watch news as it happens anywhere
in the world…raw, unedited on your computer at work or home.
It started on Super Tuesday with just a couple of feeds focusing
on the Republican and Democratic candidates and has grown to 150
streams around the world. We think it will double that soon because
we keep hearing from stations that are starting up live streams.
We did it as a little newsroom experiment and now we have ABC,
CBS and NBC stations involved.
We've been streaming the hearings about Iraq this week…nothing
unusual about that…but we also stream the presidential candidates
live every day…sometimes two or three times each a day as they
go around the country. No one else is doing that.
We have been working on providing live video of the Pope’s visit
to America from many different television stations. On Monday
April 14th from 6-7pm CST we will have an experimental internet
broadcast about the Catholic religion. We will look at the issues
facing the Church and discuss the importance of this visit. It
is a national effort that you can see on www.livenewscameras.com.
We of course hope to have raw feeds of the Pope’s travels at every
possible opportunity. We are the only website that we know that
is devoting this sort of effort to gather all of these live feeds
into one location.
Perhaps you would like to link to this content over the next
week? At the very least it might be a useful way to keep up with
this historic event.
Being an eyewitness to news is very different from consuming
prepared news content.
Like to see what you think. Our motto is “Veritas odit moras,”
from line 850 of Seneca’s version of Oedipus. It means “Truth
hates delay.”
