Reporting like this makes me mad.. Same as when they use video on TV
news and caption it as Home Video
We are starting to see some changes like on CNN where they do put the
submitter's name on the video, but reporting like this in the
newspaper has to change.
The attitude behind it is that reporters feel the people quoted or
referenced in the story are not the main topic. They feel like they
are just filler content and background and not important to be
identified.
Well guess what, in THIS STORY, the videobloggers ARE the main part
of the story and their names should have been used, especially when
you say your name right in the video.
It saddens me to see videobloggers referred to as another, a black
man and another video maker
And don't get me started as to how they mis identify bank of america
as a check-cashing store.
Sad.
Another asks the candidates if they would put their friends in
important government jobs. Or are you going to hire the best and the
brightest? he asks. Or are you prepared to tell us that your
friends are the best and the brightest?
A black man standing in front of a check-cashing store asks the
candidates how they would stop predatory lending in low-income
neighborhoods. A college student wants to know if the candidates
would lower the legal drinking age to 18 from 21.
Another video-maker asks: If you had to choose a current Republican
presidential candidate as your running mate, who would you choose,
and why?

This is both sad and funny. But it's mostly sad and not that funny.
Here are the details:
