Get your GeoVideo made into a BBC Newsnight item

BBC Newsnight is searching for people to fill 2 minutes of airtime with the news 'you want'. All you have to do is put together a (legal) video, upload it onto a video hosting website like YouTube, Blip tv or Google Video and then send them the link to your work by the 4th of December. After a public vote the best 5 will be shown on Newsnight during January 2007.

This has got to be an excellent chance for academics, teachers, students, professional geographers and beyond to put the subject on the media map.

If you want to do some geo-journalism but don't feel like going in Newsnight why not contribute to the Geography of Happiness project. Funded by the RGS-IBG, Geographical Association and supported by the BBC the project has invloved 11 Geographers travelling to 6 countries on very limited budgets to find out what makes 'places' happy. There are standard questions that anyone can ask anywhere before uploading the video onto the website. It's all easy as somthing very easy so just ask if you want to contribute. GGiP was born out of this Geography of Happiness team...
