Live from the Big Apple

For the non-US people out there on the web (which I am one of them), MTV's Choose or Loose initiative has provided a whole new experience of being a part of and great opportunity to have a closer look of the US elections.

Using Flixwagon, a series of 23 young reporters went out to cover the real stories from polling stations, caucuses, candidate rallies etc' live from their mobile. One of my favorite reporters is Sara Benincasa, a citizen journalist for the 2008 MTV Choose or Lose Street Team. All day long I was watching her live broadcasts which portrait NYC, the of New York voters, Hillary's winning speech and many other items.

This was a very amazing experience of getting video news breaks on real time from a young point of view. Here are some treats, however I strongly encourage you to follow the link to Sara Benicasa page and see them all.

Enjoy!
