Nominated in Democracy in action category.

You need to experiment and play with a new site and this is what I have been doing for the past nine months with a six video screen option. They represent five tv or video links udner the titles: Parliament TV, Yes Minister, MPTV, Sittingbourne TV and Sheppey TV; the sixth screen is given over to an anotated google map showing my work in the comstituency (it links back to www.derekwyayt.co.uk). The video entries are seemlessly hosted on a variety of social networking sites including YouTube and google.

I think with the onset of IPTV that it is inevitable thta all public sector sites will have to move from largely text-based to a video solution(s).

This is a first attempt for me and the challenge in 2008/09 will be to merge it more completely with www.derekwyatt.co.uk.

I sense this site breaks new ground...

Derek is right - video has more potential as an emotionally engaging medium - eye contact, tone of voice, sound and colour but professional audience seekers need to learn a lot more about lighting, scripting and how to get messages RITE - relevant, intimate, timely and executable - because if they aren't as good as TV they will look ridiculous.

The medium is the message.
