Next Live Event: GOP Debate in Enfield
A few months ago we embarked on our first live broadcast experiment featuring a debate with the Democratic gubernatorial candidates in New Haven. The broadcast was shared across a number of independent media sites, including the New Haven Independent, the Valley Independent Sentinel, and CTNewsJunkie.com.
This Thursday it's the GOP's turn at Asnuntuck College in Enfield. Along with CTNewsJunkie.com we'll be broadcasting a debate double header featuring Senate candidates Peter Shiff and Rob Simmons as well as Gubernatorial candidates Mike Fedele and Oz Griebel. LocalOnlineNews.TV alum George Colli will moderate along with a panel of journalists asking questions.
We'll be using some new technology that will allow for multiple camera angles and a more professional looking presentation. Visit http://www.localonlinenews.tv/live/ starting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 29th!
Join us at Social Web Week!

A LocalOnlineNews.TV Alum Hits the Airwaves
One of the most satisfying things we do at LocalOnlineNews.TV is work with very talented reporters at the very start of their careers. George Colli, who covered the Republican Convention for us and CTNewsJunkie.com, was picked up by Hartford's Fox61 just a few days after his stories went live on our sites. Here's a story he filed last night with Fox, helping victims of the recent Tornado in Bridgeport:
