"When You Start a Blog, You Are the Media"

Chuck Olsen's done the impossible. He's tried (and succeeded) in making a film about the very subject that this group blog's about.

While his flick had its' NYC premiere back in August, you can now watch it online here .

From Chuck's own blog on why he decided to put it online now:

People have often asked me if they could watch the film online. Up until now, no. There's a fair amount of copyrighted material in the film, particularly music. This is what's prevented me from putting it online, trying to sell DVDs, or even promoting it all that much.

Now, in the YouTube era, I'm not as worried. So I'm taking a chance and putting the whole thing online, with the disclaimer that it's intended for non-profit educational use only. I'm sincere about that; I do hope this will make it easy for educators to show new media and journalism students. That's probably the most likely audience.
