We're scraping and scrimping for the financial support needed to pull this off, but one thing we're trying to do is provide an on-floor mini studio where bloggers could video interview candidates and walk away with a mastered disk of their interview, suitable for posting on YouTube. Although the financial resources committed to this don't quite cover the costs so far, between some donations from me and the New Media Committee we should be able to pull this off. Wouldn't that be a huge change? There are some other possibilities in the works as well. Stay tuned. The commitment from RPV to supporting new media doesn't consist solely of a workspace for bloggers and putting a Facebook logo somewhere. They're actually committing resources to support the work that bloggers are doing.
