Leveraging the Power of the New Television Can Positively Turn Things Around

What's on my mind this morning is a conversation that I've been having with a community-based non-profit regarding leveraging the power of the New Television to positively turn things around for themselves public image-wise. They have recently and unfairly been beaten up by a money-hungry commercial media that unfortunately makes more money from spinning negative scandalous stories than it does from telling positive ones.  

I know and have worked with this non-profit group. Their leadership, and their fine work is of the highest quality and I continue to hold them in highest esteem, but a negative press has unfairly damaged their reputation. So now I am telling them that things no longer have to go down that way, not when it is now possible for them to use The New Television to tell their own more positive stories, and even even get their message out all the way to mobile devices and to prime-time HDTV home television screens. 

What's "new" about The New Television is that now, for the first time in the history of the world, quality television can be authored by community-based organizations themselves. In their own hands and with the right support of television-savvy people, they can communicate the fine work that they actually do, winning more hearts and minds,  moving forward ...instead of backward. The new technology to do television is now radically lower in price, making it much more accessible and easier to work with than "older-think" television station technology with its fancy studios, and its expensive uplink vans.

The New Television is also much easier to access and use than "older think" public access studios with outmoded equipment that no longer makes good economic or political sense.  As a former systems sales engineer who actually provided these systems to municipalities back in the day, this type of gear made sense then, but not now. 

In fact, now we can even do on-line mobile real-time reporting and live webcasting from a mobile phone and mobile 4G Wifi hotspot. Instead of using cable or an HD broadcast station, we can even do HD television ..ourselves...using the entire Internet as an "Internet-work" and getting the word out  using new social media. When I think about the fine work that we could do with The New Television to help people and organizations move forward ... rather than tear them down, I just keep buzzing with joy and hope thinking about all the good that can come from this.

Instead of wasting all that money, and sclepping all that painfully heavy and expensive older-think electronic news gathering (ENG) equipment, and instead of assigning all those staff reporters to dojournalism of the worse kind, what about the idea of this organization spinning its own marvelous stories about hopeful new directions in and for the world ...that they are already involved with? That's what I'm talking about. What positive stories do you have to tell? Call me and let's talk about moving forward with The New Television to make ours a better world. 425-780-6872

MLK Jr. Day 2011 A - New World Learning Institute & Conference Center Webcast Today Jan 17, 2011 at 2:00pm PST

This morning, what's on my mind is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and what his courageous dreaming...and brave front-running action  has done for me and for world humanity. I will never forget the day that he came to San Jose, California where I grew up and I got to shake his hand. Fast-forward to now... so here I am in a 2011 21st century world with my great friend and colleague Dr. Paul Jackson about to support a webcast of rising stars Bettina Carey of Women's Empowerment Network & Summit and Dr. Melody Ivory ...first African-American woman the U.S. to receive her PhD in Computer Science from UC Berkeley ...my alma mater.. reading her poetry... in Westlake Park at the very epicenter of downtown Seattle....and streaming this using one of the resources at my disposal via my online New World Learning Institute & Conference Center.

Wow does supporting what Dr. Martin Luther Jr, and these powerful women are about...doing this event... fire my own dreams about using intelligent communications and learning to make ours a better world. So watch this window from my blog today at 2:00 PM (Pacific Standard Time) to experience a remarkable, historical event and please comment below to let me know what you think.

Thank you Dr. King for your courage and for your unconditional love for all humanity in this Earth upon which  we all live.

Thoughts right before going into a Community-based Television communications and learning opportunity

This morning I am sipping some espresso in nice cafe across from Burien Library with wonderful thoughts on my mind about upcoming free Community-based Television workshop I will be teaching...one hour from now. First thing in my mind is how wonderful powerful information shared with genuine love and caring is. People attending will be small businesses and entrepreneurs with big dreams on their mind and much passion in their hearts... so my own consciousness is telling me to do what I can help folks get to what they deeply care about and how the new television can be practically applied to help them get to that.

Although I will be sure to cover the basics of providing a great overview of where the new television  is going, and will do some "hands-on" television programming and video production training during this three-hour workshop... the real center piece to this is what is going on at people's very center...what they are deeply passionate about.  Perhaps putting the technology right into their hands and having them speak out about that, while the camera is rolling will capture some of that.... Yes... that's what I will do. ..keeping my own overview short... investing more time in them.. and asking them to tell a brief three-part, "before-during-and-after-story about what mastering the new television would mean for them...personally.

That's what I will do... What story do you need to tell about what the new television might be able to do for you...once you have mastered it? Call me and let's connect about this...in the service of truth, learning, hope, and personal accomplishment. - 425-780-6872.
