Read this article from Richard Fernandez at The Belmont Club.Sample graf:
***
...Information warfare is so important that Dauber suggests that on the battlefield the priority of the combat soldier and combat cameraman have been reversed. No longer is it the job of the cameraman to support the military effort, it is the role of the military arm to set up the picture for the cameraman...(emphasis added)

Don't scoff at the significance of the "observe and report" function.
Got Flip?Make sure that you do before next spring's protests.

First is an article, second is way to make any smart-phone stream live what the camera records to the internet. So if you're camera or phone is confiscated or you lose it, or whatever: the video still gets out and is also archived.
I thought that under the new "Murtha Rules" that the photographer was there to gather evidence to prosecute our troops for doing their job.
ReplyDeleteWell unless they shut down the net it will spread viral in seconds. If the net is shutdown it will be way more difficult to promulgate the information. The old school method of printing thousands of pages and spreading them everywhere will be the only method at that point. Perhaps pirate radio could help, but I do not think it is possible to jack tv signals like the Max Headroom guy did in the 80s in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteI believe it's prudent to have a "friendly" camera present anytime the media is interrogating...sorry, interviewing one of "us."
ReplyDeleteWe film the interview, same as them. What can they say about it? Nothing. From a copyright standpoint, what can they do when a reporter's hack job caught on "our" cameras goes viral on Youtube? Nothing.
If that makes them mad enougn to ignore, then we'll be the only ones with film of the event, I guess.
