I shot and edited this piece for Current TV this weekend about a Haiti relief fundraiser in Los Angeles.
I shot this video for AMC News on Twitter at the AMC party at the Golden Globes as Mad Men won best drama for the third year in a row.
What You Can Do To Help In Haiti
The editors at TakePart have assembled this list of non-governmental organizations that are working to stabilize the earthquake zone.
Every Thursday night until the Academy Awards on Sun., Mar. 7, I’ll be hosting Countdown to the Red Carpet, AMC’s award-season interview series, with nominees for this year’s Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards and Oscars. Tonight I’ll be sitting down with actor Jeremy Renner, a SAG best actor nominee for his role as the wild Sgt. William James in Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker.
For more Countdown to the Red Carpet, tune in tonight and every subsequent Thursday during the 8PM movie. You can get more details about our Countdown interviews as well as live behind-the-scenes updates by following along with me on AMC News on Twitter or on the AMC News blog.
Please join me and these other awesome speakers Tuesday in NYC from 4-6PM for this event at Baruch College! I’ll be talking about how nonprofits can use online video like we did at Why Tuesday? - and more. No promises about how to interview President Obama, though. You can RSVP online here.
That’s me on the big screen (from Los Angeles) having an iChat about Why Tuesday? and American voter participation with Diana Laufenberg’s high school juniors (in Philadelphia) last week. You can read more about our chat, and how we met on Twitter, on Diana’s blog. Here’s a preview:
Last Tuesday (how fitting), Jacob iChatted in at the end of the school day to 60 juniors all jammed into my classroom. They spent the next 45 minutes trading ideas and questions about voting, civic motivations and US history. It was spectacular. When we debriefed on Thursday, many of the kids felt like this was a wonderful way to ‘have class’. A majority of hands went up when I asked if they would like me to try and arrange for other experts to iChat in. When I asked them what they liked about the iChat, they were most impressed that during their conversation with Jacob, he didn’t just talk *at* them. They genuinely felt like he was interested in their ideas and the process of sharing thoughts, rather than just hearing himself talk. (so good)
Be sure to follow me, Why Tuesday? and Diana on Twitter.
