Example:
- Pangea Day, a 2006 TED Prize winner
Richard Vega, Yahoo News: "How do we incorporate [Yahoo's holdings- Flickr, del.icio.us, etc] into Yahoo's 2008 election coverage?"
Torey Malatia, :Vocalo: A hyper-local social networking site that incorporates a radio station, 89.5 FM in Northwest Indiana and Chicago. This is an exciting model and one that LPFM and other community radio stations should look at. As I understand it, they webstream user-generated content all the time, and offer a number of shows on air that curate from the online offerings a collection of content that contrast differing perspectives on issues.
Lokman Tsui, Anneberg Upenn & Ivan Sigal, USIP:

Ron Cooper, Access Sacramento! Yay, PEG! Ron is an ambassador, asking the Media Re:public to engage in the AT&T U-Verse fight.
