I recently reported on an evening with CBS correspondent Jeff Greenfield, courtesy of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. In advance of the program Mr. Greenfield had said, "I still have a Jeffersonian faith in our capacity to reach for the best in us when we have to. But the more I look at the present, and the future, of media, the more that faith is tested." So I put together this video for the event to give a perspective on the Street Team's role in the evolution of media this election year.
Thanks to my fellow Street Teamers Cory Midgarden (WA), Griffin McElroy (WV), Christine Begay (NM), Stephanie Woods (DE), and Kristen Teraila (MD) for helping me out with fresh copies of their footage. And thanks to the Blank Family Foundation for the invitation. The Foundation focuses its efforts on "improving early childhood development, enhancing education, preserving green space, sustaining the arts and sparking collaboration among its nonprofit partners" in the Atlanta area. Arthur M. Blank is the owner of the NFL Atlanta Falcons and co-founder of Home Depot.
