My notes for this session are included underneath the links to the video files below.
I’ll be putting up highlight clips for Terry Fisher‘s description of the three different kinds of democracy, Zack Rosen’s presentation on Americans For Dean, and probably a few other exciting moments.
Charlie Nesson put together an ad hoc panel on Blogging and Democracy. Aaron Swartz, Zack Rosen, yours truly, David Hornik, Colin Mutchler, and Frank Field all participated.

Watching now, interesting stuff. One thing that strikes me immediately is the audio. If you’re going to record a lot of these panels it’ll be worth an investment in some external audio gear as audiences are usually more forgiving on the video end of things than audio.
A room like that probably has a way to get a feed from the sound system. Go early and get to know the sound person or maybe you’ll get lucky and there’s plug n play mult outlet. Its always good to come to a gig w/ xlr, 1/4″, stereo rca adapters / cable / gender changers. In a pinch you can get decent sound by mic’ing an amplified speaker. You’ll also want an external mic on your camera, probably a shotgun (directional) mic.
If you’re camera supports it use two audio inputs and keep them on seperate channels. That way if, say, the speaker strays away from their handheld mic you can pick them up with your shotgun mic and make the decision whilst editing which version of the audio is better.
