Washington Post On Being

Yesterday a 202er asked me what I think is the "best of the Web." Hands down, the thing that captures that for me is a Washington Post online series called "On Being." It's just a person or pair answering questions directly to the camera that's deftly edited into a brief package. A new one goes up every Wednesday, and I have yet to not be blown away. Check it out today and every Wednesday.
In general, the Post blows me away online. Their "Being a Black Man" is definitely worth a look.
Locally, the State Journal has been behind but just got an award nomination for their Hip Hop 101 package.

Just wanted to say this OnBeing thingy is fantastic. I've watched them all--except the ones whose links are broken. I really wanted to see that nun! Darn!

I've thought for a long time that news can be a little distant for most people and having something personal with normal people would be a great idea. They've done a great job telling stories from the man on the street.
