About the Videos:
The explosion of video is making a big impact on the new politics and the New Politics Institute is trying to leverage its capabilities too. We video talks that we give and events we put on, but we are also experimenting with interviews of our network members and edited viral videos that can be passed along. Many of the longer videos are broken into chronological pieces so you can view the whole thing or specific bits.
