This month, the Publisher INsider profiles GRITtv with Laura Flanders whose online video content is offered through Newstex Authoritative Content.

GRITtv launched in May 2008, and today, the daily 30-minute discussion reaches millions of viewers each week airing three times per day on Free Speech TV, on Dish network (9415), on DirecTV (340),  on cable and public television stations nationwide, and online.

GRITtv videos incorporate viewer-submitted content.  As the GRITtv website explains, the goal is:

“To go beyond the one-way format of traditional media,  GRITtv talks to the people commercial media ignore.  Independent filmmakers and journalists, activists, and the smartest thinkers and doers of our time are part of the conversation, and you can be too.”

GRITtv videos are hosted by founder Laura Flanders who is a journalist, author and media activist.  Her books include the New York Times bestseller Bushwomen: Tales of a Cynical Species and Blue Grit: Making Impossible, Improbable, and Inspirational Political Change in America. She is also a regular contributor to The Nation magazine and the Huffington Post and a regular commentator on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show.”

Recent videos published by GRITtv cover topics as diverse as green jobs, human rights in the United States, New Orleans years after Hurricane Katrina, Iraq, the Tea Party, and anchor babies.  GRITtv videos feature diverse voices discussing ideas and concerns viewers don’t always find from traditional news outlets.

While GRITtv is categorized as being a political publisher, the video and discussion topics include far more than just politics.  There is always something new, different, and thought-provoking to see and hear on GRITtv.

Online privacy has been a concern for years but only in recent years, with the explosive growth of the social web, has the concern grown about a person’s own words coming back to harm him or her in the future.  That’s because nearly everyone is using the social web these days, and many are only just beginning to realize that what they publish today could still be found in a Google search years from now.

Newstex syndicates the authoritative content from Thomson Reuters’ podcast, Legal Current, about the business and practice of law, and this week, an interview with Jeffrey Rosen delved into online privacy and the problems associated with exposing too much of oneself in the digital space.  Jeffrey Rosen is a law professor at George Washington University whose article about online privacy, “The End of Forgetting,” appeared in The New York Times Magazine in July.

In Rosen’s interview with the Legal Current podcast, he explains, “The right to privacy tends to cover only the outrageous or the untrue postings, things that are highly offensive to a reasonable person. But when you’re talking about embarrassing or truthful information, there’s not a clear legal right to escape it or to have people take it down.”  You can follow the link to listen to the complete podcast interview with Jeffrey Rosen on Legal Current.  It’s well worth it!

Interestingly, the timing for the Legal Current interview with Rosen couldn’t have been more appropriate.  Just last week, I watched an episode of The Colbert Report that discussed this very topic with the tongue-in-cheek humor viewers expect from host Stephen Colbert.  You can watch the segment clip below (or view it here if the video doesn’t play for you).

Control-Self-Delete — that’s not a bad idea.

This month, the Publisher INsider profiles 3BL Media whose online video content is offered through Newstex Authoritative Content.

3BL Media is made up of a team of experts in corporate social responsibility, sustainability and cause marketing communications who work with organizations that want to spread their messages and news about those topics across the social web.

3BL Media offers three corporate social responsibility video series:

• The CSR Minute: the daily video digest of CSR headlines, news and events
• CSR Unscripted: expert insights and opinions in the world of CSR
• CSR Report: interviews, profiles and in-depth reporting

The video content from 3BL Media is varied and interesting.  For example, recent headlines reviewed in The CSR Minute included a look at Snapple’s recycling goals, Miller Coors’ increased work with the EPA, and a new green meeting program from Starwood Hotels and Resorts.  Recent experts featured on CSR Unscripted discussed companies like Barclay and BP, and recent CSR Report videos featured interviews with corporate executives like Bonin Bough, Global Director, Digital and Social Media at Pepsico and Micki Sever, Manager, Marketing Programs/Global Citizenship at eBay.

Not only is the video content from 3BL Media interesting, but it also aims to make a difference in the world.  As the company explains on its website, its team is committed to doing exactly that:

We love what we do and believe that the way we can make the biggest difference is through communications. We wear suits, hemp pants, drink martinis and soy milk. Some of us have MBAs from Harvard, others of us dropped out of high school. Among us we have philosophy, economics and human rights degrees, and one of us plays in a band. We have been CEOs and Directors of companies, and grown fledgling organizations into global operations. Some of us never strayed too far from home while others have worked in refugee camps in Africa. Our varied backgrounds have led us all to one collective belief: we have seen first hand the positive force that business can have in the global community.

It’s great to see companies using online video and the social web to make a difference in the world!
