YouTube’s Town Hall Attempts To Merge Online Video And Politics

ReelSEO:
"Politicians in America are now well aware of how important new media is going to be to the election process moving forward. Most have an official Facebook page, and many of them even Tweet regularly. And video is right there at the top of the most-used social media outlets for politicians, who are seeing how engaging online video can be. YouTube has hosted live debates, curated video questions for the president, and served as a home for countless interviews and political commercials.
Their latest experiment is something called Town Hall, and it aims to be an ongoing, digital debate between senators and representatives. YouTube viewers will be able to choose a topic, and then watch two opposing viewpoint videos from various members of Congress. In an interesting twist, viewers will not see the speakers’ political party affiliations until after they’ve seen the videos."
