Video Voter
On Monday, the Center for Governmental Studies (CGS) launched a new national campaign to improve voter information with the release of "Video Voter: Producing Election Coverage for Your Community" and its companion website, www.videovoter.org. The publication and website offer government access cable TV channels, public access producers, cable TV local origination and Video-on-Demand systems, digital TV stations and others step-by-step guidelines on how to create and distribute unedited video coverage of candidates and ballot measure campaigns in their own communities.
The Video Voter Guide helps producers to code their election programming for capture by Digital Video Recorders (e.g., TiVo), negotiate carriage by Video-on-Demand cable TV systems, and create their own websites to archive on-demand election programming for Internet viewing in homes. The website
(www.VideoVoter.org) provides up-to-date programming and legal information together with downloadable forms (releases, candidate instructions, etc.).
