Video break: interview for PBS's Tavis Smiley's Young Voices

September 2, 2008 by PamsHouseBlend

As I mentioned last week, while we were in Denver at the DNC it seems as though I was the subject of interviews by media outlets almost as many times as I conducted ones for the Blend. Must be that novelty factor...

The latest one up is by broadcast-turned-online journalist Tamika Thompson of Tavis Smiley's Young Voices on PBS. She approached me while I was at The Big Tent and shot this for the series "African American Bloggers: Beyond What you See on TV." I am glad that I had a chance to bring LGBT perspective to a program with a large POC following. Visibility does matter.

Pam's House Blend editor and publisher Pam Spaulding tells us how DNC access for bloggers changes the political landscape and discusses how LGBT issues have been addressed this election season.

More videos of black bloggers at the convention are at the PBS web site.

Also, catch Tamika's latest coverage of the police violence at the RNC, complete with photos of law enforcement pepper spraying and arresting anti-war protestors.
