CNN/YouTube Debates
In the first U.S. presidential primary season to occur since the advent of ubiquitous web video, there were a whole lot of moments — both scripted and unscripted, and both controlled by the candidates and completely out of their control — that went viral. YouTube and CNN got together to make a more systematic change that involved all the candidates by organizing official debates in which regular people could ask questions by submitting them, on video, to YouTube. The result was touching, corny, hectic, grandstanding — just like politics as usual — but a little more personal.
