YouTube, MyTime by Femblogger
Two weeks ago I quit my job as a suburban reporter for The Cincinnati Enquirer to start my own freelance writing business.
In those two short weeks I’ve realized now I have more than just freedom from “the man,” but freedom to speak out and get involved in politics.
I’ve followed national and local politics for years. It was my job, I used to cover the Kentucky legislature and more recently I found that even the suburbs have their juicy political stories.
But when you’re a reporter the “B” word – bias -- is forever in the back of your mind and in the front of the public’s. So I really couldn’t do much outside of work politically, but vote.
That’s changed now, and I’ve decided to get involved in the national political debate, literally. The YouTube video web site has teamed up with CNN for a Democratic primary presidential debate in July.
We get to ask the questions. So I’m gonna get out my handy digital camera/recorder and ask away. I haven’t decided exactly WHAT to ask, maybe you guys have some ideas? Pass ‘em along.
And wish me luck.
If they pick my questions I’ll get to go to Charleston, S.C. to watch the debate on July 23.
