Knight Foundation gives you a window onto the inauguration with multi-media journalist Farai Chideya and her team of student bloggers from the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Journalism. With Knight’s support, they are posting coverage of the inauguration on PopandPolitics.com. They allow free distribution of the inaugural content under a Creative Commons license, which facilitates legal content sharing. Farai’s team is videoblogging, using Twitter, shooting photographs, and writing about the largest inauguration of our lifetime.

“We consider this a content experiment that shows that in the 21st century technology can lower barriers of entry so that anyone, anywhere can transmit or receive news and information that people need to run their communities and their lives,” said Eric Newton, Knight’s vice president / Journalism Program.

The contributors to PopandPolitics will also explain how anyone can use the video and images, released under a Creative Commons license, for professional or educational projects.

Journalist Farai Chideya started Pop and Politics as a blog in 1996 while working as an “X-Generation” campaign reporter for CNN. She posted material at the site that spoke to a younger multicultural audience, material that wasn’t making it on to CNN.
