It was an ambitious undertaking: 1) outreach to our region's most challenged urban youth and empower them with new communications skills and new hope by introducing them to the power the new web television for personal, business, organizational, and social change..and 2) turn right around and work with them to also offer free web television workshops to the general public - e.g. people and organizations across the entire region through two public library systems.
We began by doing workshops right at King County Juvenile probation, had new web television equipment donated in support of the program. Then we turned right around and delivered 2 hour workshops at Bellevue Regional Library, at Douglass-Truth Public Library in Seattle, at Woodinville Regional Library, and Burien Public Library and this was no easy task. Yet we did it and what awesome results we achieved and without charging not one cent for all the time and money we spent!
Suzette Sommer, a former cable television sales person, and now a successful business entrepreneur attended our last workshop to gain new business insights about leveraging the power of the new web television to grow her business.. CLICK HERE or on the image to see her edited and titled personal video statement that we produced during the workshop..
In addition to learning about the power of new low-cost web television to grow her business in the U.S .and southern Canada, the synergies that happened between challenged youth and Suzette were equality important. Suzette was marvelous working with at-risk youth also in attendance through King County's Juvenile Court Minority Business & Youth Alliance Program, and they likewise working with Suzette ...one of the intentions of our workshop that was actualized!
How fine it was when workshop participants actually stepped up to the plate and produced their own content on the spot. With radically low-cost... and even "no-cost" web television techology, we shot four personal video statements, uploaded the content, and edited and published content during the fast-moving two-hour session.
In two-hours, all we could accomplish was basically to get a conversation going, that we intend to snowball and well as leverage to help many, many stakeholders, starting with these youth and with small businesses, and not-for-profit groups who could all phenomenally benefit.

[August 2007] New World Communications successfully completed its four-session free-to-the public Web Television Workshop series in July and August to empower challenged youth, and to help make the public - e.g. interested persons, business entrepreneurs, and not-for-profit business persons more aware of the phenomenal power of the new web television. Here's some of what's radically new and provocative about all this.
- Television is in a class all by itself as the world's most powerful communications and learning medium. The problem until recently has been the access, the cost, the complexity of production and distribution processes - e.g. you had to go through gate-keepers and had to have huge a budget to get your content out over the air or on cable television. The technology was also both exotic and expensive, just to reach regional audiences. Just doing a 30 second spot ad over cable television costs thousands of dollars... the conventional way that is.
- But now imagine the power of television when it can now be done... across the entire Internet.. with phenomenally more business reach than either broadcast or cable. In our workshop, we produced decent web television content with radically new and elegantly simple web television technology that costs under a $100 ...less than the cost of cell phone, and now there are well over 100 video hosting services on the web where people can host... "mix"... and even edit their content ...for *free.
* "Free"- Free web television hosting on viral sites such as YouTube.com and on lesser known sites is like an commercial television advertising model - e.g the more that people visit a "portal" and utilize the resource, the more valuable the cost of advertising to third-party advertisers. Web television is therefore rapidly becoming ...big business. It's all about the audience and the number of "eyeballs" that advertisers can get their message in front of.
- Web television produced this way, is also powerfully "viral": Content and video players can be "shared" with others via e-mail, and "posted" and embedded right on your own website. Forget just images and text and annoying pop-ups and Flash objects. Done intelligently, with media literacy and marketing communications understanding, your web site can "come alive" communicating your the unique value proposition of your "offering" and helping your business or organization grow...phenomenally.
Now the challenge is only media literacy, communications and learning expertise, and business savvy. That's where New World Communications can help as a contract communications consulting firm. Public service is just one of the things that we do. For information, just call us and we'd be happy to communicate with you (01) 425-844-8908 or e-mail us at ajohn@newworldcom.com
