about C-SPAN Debate Hub

debatehub.c-span.org

-----------------------

"Even if politics and Presidential debates bore you to the point where you need to nap like a 72-year-old, credit is still due to C-SPAN for making the whole process slightly more interesting with its ambitious Debate Hub. The social media-packed, live-blogging saturated, video clip bonanza, pulls content from a variety of sources—including YouTube, ADD microblogging tool Twitter, and C-SPAN's spin-free video coverage—and crams it all into a clean little web page... Dare I say it, this could be the future of covering live events. It's liveblogging, on steroids!"

- gizmodo


"it is the best single-page tool I’ve found for recapping the debate in nothing more than the candidates own words."

- Crushing Krisis

C-SPAN political producer Ben O'Connell, the project lead on the Debate Hub: "The first and foremost reason we wanted to do this is that C-SPAN has always been committed to getting as many voices heard as possible -- we see this almost as an extension of our call-in programs. The second reason is that we're creating a beachhead in social media. We recognize that this is a major part of public discourse now, and we want to engage in it."
