Online Coverage of the Inauguration

January 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment

As someone who vividly recalls the day JFK was sworn in, I am trying to draw parallels between 1961 and 2009 (aside from the fact that JFK’s historic day was shown only on three TV networks). I am hoping the massive online and broadcast coverage helps provide me insight.

I will be deploying multiple PCs and my iPhone for coverage, including CNN (on TV in HD), BET (on TV not in HD), Associated Press (online) Livestation, Twitter (follow me @ allenweiner), Facebook (which is in partnership with CNN) and whatever else I can find that is either interesting or provides a valuable POV.

Optimism abounds.
