I agree with Judy. I think we should protest this by doing much better
videointerviews with those 3 (Brian, Laura Amy, and Lorriene) and push it through
youtube/teachertube and more through the power of web 2.0. The reporter did
children's literature a disservice. I was irritated by her rushing through HER
commentary, repeating "In other words", and talking over the guests. I was reading
Betsy Bird's description of the Awards and this video on her blog
http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1790000379/post/1960020196.html and noted
how many other people were frustrated with the interview on TODAY.
Perhaps we should be contacting the members of ALA's e-Participation TaskForce to
encourage them to make a video of the author speeches during Annual live webcasts
so everyone can truly HEAR the authors in their own words. If you can't be there to
hear the speeches, you are missing one of the best parts. Can't wait to cheer these
on at Annual in Annaheim, CA.
