Police exploring new media boundaries | Metro - 0 views

  • Calgary police could soon go behind the lens for a change to shoot their own news videos addressing community concerns. Other frontline officers may be given the opportunity to inform the public through frequently updated blogs. These two initiatives and many others are on the table as the Calgary Police Service maps out a new strategy to interact with the public like never before.

OK GO's "Needing Getting" video - 1 views

    I am posting this as an example of the blurring boundary between what is advertisement or product placement and entertainment. This was sponsored by the car company.

    I have so many things to say about OK Go--they are absolutely exemplary of a lot of the things we're talking about, especially considering their history with ditching their record label early-on, their success as YouTube sensations (you know, the treadmill video--yeah, THOSE GUYS--for "Here It Goes Again"), and generally making their way by creating/promoting/identifying as an independent brand. Interesting to note along with Chevy's sponsoring of the car? Gretsch donated all of the amps and guitars (288 guitars in all), 11 of which were preserved in their dusty condition to be sold for charity. Proceeds benefit the Fender Music Foundation, a group focused in music education for children and adults.
