SAN BRUNO, CA and WASHINGTON, DC–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – YouTube, the leading

online video community that allows people to discover, watch and share

originally created videos, and C-SPAN, the cable public affairs network,

have partnered to launch a nationwide online and television broadcast

initiative. The videocentric program allows voters the opportunity to

voice their views on the issues most important to them in the 2008

election.

The “YouTube Voter Video on C-SPAN” initiative is an Internet/cable

broadcast collaboration centered around the upcoming Pennsylvania primary

that encourages voters to respond to the question “What issue in this

election is most important to you, and why?”

From now until the eve of the Pennsylvania primaries on April 22, YouTube

users and C-SPAN viewers can upload their video to C-SPAN’s YouTube channel

(www.YouTube.com/cspan). Each submission should focus on a single issue

and include the name and hometown of the person submitting the video.

Ideally, videos will include a visual context for the issues they address,

and mention the candidate best-equipped to tackle the topic at hand. A

selection of videos will air on C-SPAN beginning Sunday, April 13 on “Road

to the White House” and during other network political programming.

In addition to online submissions, which allow voters anytime, anywhere to

submit their videos, voters in Pennsylvania will have the opportunity to

record their videos from the C-SPAN Campaign 2008 Bus. The network’s

Campaign 2008 Bus will be traveling throughout Pennsylvania during the week

leading up to the primary. Exact Campaign 2008 Bus locations will be

announced shortly.

“As candidates enter the final stretch of this exciting primary, we offer

voters the chance to voice their opinions on the issues that matter most in

this race,” said Steve Grove, YouTube’s head of news and politics. “We are

especially pleased to join with C-SPAN to inspire voters as they address

issues that will affect Americans and the global community when the

forty-fourth president takes the oath of office in 2009.”

“For nearly 30 years, C-SPAN’s programming mission has been to allow

viewers to voice their opinions on the issues of the day,” said Steve

Scully, C-SPAN’s Political Editor. “Our partnership with YouTube on the

‘Voter Video’ initiative allows voters an additional and more descriptive

vehicle through which they can express their points of view.”
