Learning from YouTube on TV

Hey Mr. Anchor, maybe don't judge so much when your opinion is based on a 15-second spot.

youtube on tv would be incredible ill email some people who will make it offically on tv.

Calm down people. College kids are lazy, colleges courses like Learning from Youtube are a joke, the sky is blue, grass is green....much ado about nothing.

I think that news anchorman is kind of a duschbag. I feel a bit offended by how they treated learning from youtube. they did act like it was a joke, when in reality they obviously don't know much about the story they are reporting on or the fact that youtube is a incredibly revolutionary and fascinating new form of media. Idiots.

Youtube is BigBrother. People are held accountable for their words by the visibility Youtube. with our cameras, we are our own monitoring body

15yrs ago the rodney king incident was shocking not only for its brutality, but because someone just HAPPENED to film it. today, a search for "police brutality" gets 2000+ video hits

consider george allen's macaca incident

I think it's fantastic that these newscasters are being held responsible for their criticism of the course

I think this video shows how uncritical that mainstream media is of what it choses to report and how it presents it. Without understanding the theory of the course or what aspects of media praxis is wants to illuminate, the anchors fail back on simple clichés about higher education and lazy students.

This is a perfect example of how YouTube works... first, it allows us to watch this television clip that we'd probably never otherwise see, then we are able to comment on it and express any and all opinions, good or bad, with the option of anonymity... you tube works with people, someone had to put this video on YouTube, and the entire world is able to interact with it and express their beliefs/ideas or plain nonsense.

As for them berating college students and marking them as lazy people who sleep in, they can't complain that college age people are turning to YouTube, Daily Show and Current to get their news--it's not our voices being represented in mainstream media.

As a media producer and someone working in user generated content for Current TV, I found the comments made by these news anchors to be telling of how they treat their audiences--out of date and misinformed. If they knew what went into making a good youtube video, or Current TV pod, they would not be comparing it to a leisure activity.

boylebongo, some would say that any publicity is good publicity. Even if people are going to think our class is a complete waste of time and smear Pitzer as a result of all the press, I'm pleased that we're getting this attention; as a student of media studies, it's great to be a participant in all this and watch how it unfolds.
