The Revolution Will be Televised!
Just as politicians are slowly losing their mystique and power in the face of the internet revolution, so too is the mass media. And nowhere is this more evident in the transformation of audio-video technologies we have see in recent months, turning film making from something for the select few into something everyone can do. Through the YouTube and mobile phone revolution, we can indeed all "Broadcast Ourselves"
And whilst at times it is just fun and entertaining, we believe this technology, in which a £20 mobile phone has the power and the reach of a £500,000 camera and satellite van of 10 years ago, means our revolution will be televised.
We are asking YouScotland supporters and others to share with us their experiences, not just in text but also in video. Use your imaginations and new found skills to show us your vision of a new Scotland, and also expose the establishment we aim to remove. Turn up at their meetings, their campaign rallies, debates and photocalls, and send us back what you find there, good, bad, indifferent or just bizarre. But more positively, show us all what you and others are doing to help build a better future.
With our cameras, computers and vision, we can liberate our country!

3. Trade in your old phone for any current generation mobile with a 2 megapixel camera, available from any number of shops on your high street - from the Carphone Warehouse to Tesco. It should cost you nothing ( apart from a longer contract), and it is all you will need to broadcast yourslef!
