The Power of YouTube

This website is a "video vault" for anything from goofy teenage stunts to music videos to television show clips. And recently, it's become a valuable...and controversial...political tool with users providing home-made reports and campaign ads you won't find anywhere on network television. Laura's guests are Mark Timney, Associate Professor of Journalism at Keene State College and Xeni Jardin, Tech Culture Journalist, Co-Editor of the weblog BoingBoing, and a contributor to National Public Radio and Wired Magazine. We'll also hear from Eve Fairbanks, Assistant Editor at The New Republic who reviews political ads that appear on YouTube.
