“Look for more social media at the Republican convention, meanwhile, thanks to a “citizen journalism” outfit called The UpTake.

“The video-centric independent-journalism group has figured out a way to anoint anyone with the right kind of cell phone as a kind of video correspondent, with footage streaming live on the UpTake site at theuptake.org.

“The UpTake, meanwhile, is helping a local coalition of arts, media and education groups in a Web effort called The UnConvention. That site has solicited videos from anyone with a compelling political message in a project it’s calling “I Approve This Message.” Get details at theunconvention.com.”
