Ideas: (Went around the circle- everyone gave ideas)

Sarah: Local perspective & Graphics (How-to that accompany everyone’s video packages)

Iris: Young voters, local… Satirical- should it be serious or satire? Would like to aim at Digital Insite, with video packs, & website that promotes it…

Dave: Facebook/Social Networking info, Kyle had info on blog-refer…

John: Get off Ball State… Who are our connections? Collaborate with other schools? Focus on young voters? Who do we know that could help: Justin Gladis/Brians friends at Kent, Johns friends,

Brian: Comparing Ball state to Earlham College in Richmond, Ind.

Main Question: Should we make a half-hour show? Digital Insite?

Ideas:

Burris & School House Rocks- Dancing down McGalliard?

Set up at NL, as our own studio… Watch “election” coverage on MySpace, Facebook, etc…

30 Minute show… Filler/bumper pieces… Political Variety Show?

Go home & watch: Attack of the show? (Per John’s idea…)

How are student elections at other Universities? Should we include them?
