Thanks to farms.com interactive media editor Andrew Campbell for alerting me and the student video crew at SPARK to the YouTube Reporters’ Center. Anyone involved in journalism and communications inside or outside of agriculture will have a hard time tearing themselves away from this site, with videos from the likes of Bob Woodward talking in three- or four minute clips about investigative journalism, citizen journalism, etc. University of Guelph student videos about agricultural research debut on farm.com’s eharvest site next week; thanks again to Andrew for his role in helping develop this innovative project.
