Yesterday we received the very first Youtube application here at 48 Hours in Denmark. The creator is a real forerunner in the field: Rachel Sterne of Groundreport fame. Groundreport is a user generated journalism site (am I sayin that right, Rachel?) to which more than 4000 people contribute, and they have more than 200.000 visits a month. She also has 1300 followers on Twitter.
Now that all sounds very impressive, but don’t let it scare you - your video is still more than welcome and your chances are not smaller, just because you have fewer followers on Twitter!
For your viewing pleasure:
Her name is Rachel Sterne (not Stevens), right?
Welcome Rachel
Eek! You are correct, I’m sorry Rachel, will try to correct them all. At a conference, a bit frazzled - but no excuse!
She’s got great energy!
Thanks everyone! Very excited to be in the running, and no worries on the name-spelling, I’ve seen all kinds of variations;)
