CBS Inauguration Part II

Barack Obama was able to energize a new generation of voters. At CBS, we wanted to energize a new generation of reporters. So for the president elect's inauguration, we partnered with American University's graduate journalism program who sent more than a dozen young reporters into the melee. Armed with flip cams and wifi connections, they brought back colorful video reports from the field. Their reporting captured the voices of African Americans, young kids, and musicians who jammed through the night.

Three stories made it onto the CBS Hot Sheet political blog. Not bad for newbies.
