POTUS Politics, Online And On Air
October 12, 2007, 10:14pm
Political junkies can get their fill of presidential news and commentary online and on air this year at a new forum that combines two innovations of the information age — the Internet and satellite radio.
XM Satellite Radio, one of two audio providers in the nascent industry, has been airing a steady stream of content at its POTUS ‘08 channel, and unlike other satellite radio content, the channel is free. National Journal, where I work as the editor of Technology Daily, is a partner in the effort and has been airing shows the past three weeks.
Linda Douglass, the host of National Journal On Air, already has scored interviews with two of the 2008 Republican presidential contenders — Mitt Romney and John McCain — and she sandwiched an interview with Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., in between them.
The show also includes roundtable discussions with National Journal reporters, and Tech Daily senior reporter Heather Greenfield and I occasionally will discuss the intersection of technology and politics.
Here are the first three episodes of Nationa Journal On Air, including today’s that featured the interview with McCain:
McCain:
Kennedy:
Romney:
XM’s presidential content also includes a show by the new media outlet Pajamas Media, and bloggers have been guests on the channel. It’s an excellent example of the kind of media convergence I’ve been tracking for a while now at Beltway Blogroll, my other blog at NationalJournal.com.
