Here are two different type of video news pieces to get your morning started off on an introspective foot. Now what I want you to think about is not just the news being conveyed, but how its being conveyed. The medium, the tone, the look, the breadth of information packed in a short time period…

MobLogic.tv is one of my favorite online news destinations. Each episode is less than 10 minutes (I can watch in one sitting), it’s fun, funky and snarky without trying too hard, it’s high quality video coupled with great news and analysis and the host Lindsay Campbell is smart, funny and easy to relate to (she’s cool like me!).
Funny and smart without saying a word…
Oh hell, let’s throw another one in so you can see her combo of personality and news reporting. I might have a girl news crush–but can you blame me?
Via, Jack and Jill, I found This Week in Blackness, a video site combining race reporting and analysis with a high dose of black (pun sorta intended) humor. There are some versions that are not safe for work, but check this one out.

And one more for the road… This video touches on the subject of the Obama Waffles reported on both by the American News Project and also reported on The Media Consortium’s own Adele Stan.

What do you think of these two different media products? Is there any progressive media doing anything remotely similar to this?
