U News from Columbia, Missouri launches this week with a UK link: +Mike Downes

Sarah Hill in a News Hangout

Today, will see the launch of a brand new style of News presenting - U News from Columbia, MO. I'm delighted to be invited as one of the regular co-hosts on the show which will link Kenilworth to the USA.

Sara Hill is a News Anchor and eight time Emmy award winner reporter with KOMU-TV in Columbia, Missouri (Central, USA). She has started a brilliant new project using the hangout feature of Google Plus. This allows Sarah to present the news in the normal way, but talk with nine other co-hosts in the video hangout using the laptop at her side.

To watch a live news TV show and watch the live hangout at the same time is very unusual. What it is, is new and ground breaking. For example, what would it be like to hangout with Fiona Bruce or Huw Edwards from the BBC. My prediction is it will happen when the full force of new media like this is common place.

From my viewpoint (watching on a laptop), I had streaming live cast on one screen, live YouTube and a G+ browser open (for messages and alerts).
