REVIEW: Old Media goes Vlog --> onBeing

Every once and a while, we uncover a gem amidst the morass of online video available these days. In this case, our gem wasn't shining from a new broadband service or IPTV channel - instead, it's buried in the online version of the venerable Washington Post.

OnBeing represents the new form of journalism, from some seasoned pros. It's personal, it's thought provoking, it's insightful. From the writer and producer Jennifer Crandall and the onBeing site:

onBeing is a project based on the simple notion that we should get to know one another a little better. What you’ll find here is a series of videos that takes you into the musings, passions, histories and quirks of all sorts of people. The essence of who they are, who we are.

There will be a new video every Wednesday, so check back often. In the meantime, feel free to add your thoughts to the comments section and tell us about someone you’d like to see in onBeing. Over time, we should end up with a pretty cool community.

Here's one our favorites from the series (so far!):
