Prez Obama To Issue Weekly Addresses Via YouTube
Obama continues his use of technology to help reach the American people.
The traditional White House State of the Union addresses will take on a new form with the coming administration. President-Elect Barack Obama will be taping Saturday’s weekly Democratic address not just for listeners, but for YouTube viewers, officials announced Friday. He will continue the practice after assuming office in January. Before then, the videos will be posted on Obama’s transition Web site, http://www.change.gov.
Obama is turning the radio address into a “multimedia opportunity” to communicate directly with the American people, his transition team said in a statement. President Franklin Roosevelt was perhaps the first to use new technology to reach out the the American people in the 1930s with his “fireside chats.” They were cited as an important element that allowed FDR to pull the country out of the Depression. President Regan made the Saturday radio addresses a weekly tradition.
Change both small and big has come.
