Interesting Use Case!

Interesting Use Case!

C-SPAN not allowed to film in House, using Periscope & Facebook Live footage instead

Democrats are having a sit-in protest in the House of Representatives, and C-SPAN is not allowed to film it. C-SPAN's solution: rebroadcast the live streams from the participants.

No matter what you think of the protest itself, C-SPAN's actions represent a shift in the media. Live streaming has gotten easy enough for just anyone to do it and that shifts some control of what news we see from the main stream media and government to regular people (and social media sites hosting their videos).
