YouTube launches presidential campaign live stream

NEW YORK — YouTube has launched a dedicated presidential campaign channel that will feature live streaming video from the two parties’ conventions and upcoming nationally televised debates as well as video content generated by a range of news and information partners.
YouTube news and politics manager Olivia Ma announced the new site in a blog post Wednesday. In an interview, Ma said the site would serve as "a one-stop hub, a single destination people can visit" that would offer both the YouTube live stream and reporting and analysis from eight news organizations, including The New York Times [NYT], Univision and BuzzFeed.
"We want to offer multiple perspectives on the story from a diverse slate of news organization — established names, new voices, international and Spanish language," Ma said. "Voters can browse between different outlets and have a conversation about what they are watching."
The 2012 conventions will be the first to be fully live-streamed over the Internet, and YouTube will serve as the official channel for both. Republicans meet for four days next week in Tampa, Fla., to confer the party’s presidential nomination on former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Democrats are scheduled to meet Sept. 4-6 to nominate President Barack Obama for another term.

I will be out of the country in October and was looking for something like this, but there isn't a link. 
Bookmarked.
