CBS News, Fox News Invite User Video

CBS News and Fox News will both announce on the air today projects inviting viewers to contribute video (as well as pictures and print, respectively). Both projects are powered by Neighborhood America, a white-label social network provider.

Fox News’ Studio B has launched uReport, basically an upload page soliciting fodder for the show. And CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric is looking for a summer intern, inviting applicants to submit stories on the topics of climate change, American spirit, or Iraq War veterans through a project named “SPRINGBOARD.”

These are cool little projects, and hopefully part of a larger movement towards including good user video on existing television news programs.
