Patrick on Your News
I am most excited for the prospects of “Your News”. For the last couple of years I have been getting more into learning about the world around me, but there are very few places I can go without getting frustrated.
Local news is only about who died today, the mainstream media still cares about what Sarah Palin thinks, and every other channel is about what celebrities ate for lunch. The idea of having a show where the audience gets to choose what is reported on is getting me pretty excited. Want to know about green technology? Done. Want to learn about movies and TV shows? Done. Want to know what happens in places outside of the US? Easy.
The best part is that what I want the show to be might not be anything like it turns out, because it isn’t about me; Its about the people who are watching it- YOU. At the beginning, we are going to dig up entertaining stories and things that interest most people, but once you start telling us what you want, we will give you anything. I would love to put on a show that really gets into what young adults think about politics and the rest of the world, but I guess I will have to wait and see what happens. So email us at YourNews@maybehip.com, write us on twitter, twitter.com/maybehip, or comment on this blog. Let your voice be heard any way you see fit. And then stay tuned for the first episode on December 3rd.
