keep up with what's new and what's next
Follow along with iReport staffers as we build a new kind of news site.
The huge response from iReporters with questions for Sen.
Barack Obama was matched with another very strong turnout for Sen.
Hillary Clinton. More than 60 video and photo questions were
submitted. Hundreds of comments and additional questions were
posted on iReport.com. Discussion touched her candidacy, fuel
prices and the economy.
Clinton responded directly to questions from
sutton85 and
WCNreporter,
which were chosen to air on "The Situation Room." The discussion
also became a major part of stories on CNN.com, where we also had a
chance to feature other outstanding
some
submissions that weren't aired. Did you get a chance to watch
the interview? What answers and comments affected you the most? Any
questions you'd like to ask?
Share
your response as a video commentary.
We asked iReporters to send in questions for Sen. Barack Obama last
week. Now it's time to put Sen. Hillary Clinton in the hot seat.
The Democratic presidential candidate will be in CNN's "The
Situation Room" tomorrow. She'll talk about her campaign and what's
next for her bid for the White House.
What would you like to ask Clinton? Submit your questions as
comments below or, better yet,
send
in a question on video. You could appear on CNN!
What's the world like
just
outside your front door? Take a walk down the sidewalk in your
suburb or show us your favorite local hangouts. Playgrounds,
streets, fire escapes. Just you, friends and family in your native
habitat.
You might find inspiration in some of the vignettes we've
seen from
LadysHoodJnl.
Like her, you could document the
scene inside a local
market, or film a
local performer.
There's also the old
"beasty bar,"
and the simple sight of
people dancing.
She's even submitted video from a
plumbers and
pipefitters union rally and given us a look at a living
garden
scarecrow. Use your imagination and
let
your photos and video do the talking.
It seems there are plenty of people who'd like to ask Sen.
Barack Obama a question. We received a huge response from
iReporters, with
more
than 100 video and photo questions and dozens of comments here
on the blog. Topics ranged from rising gas prices to health care to
potential vice presidents.
Obama responded directly to
two
video questions on "The Situation Room," and we featured some
other
outstanding submissions on CNN.com.
Did you watch the interview? If so, we want to hear from you.
What did you think of the iReport questions? What was your favorite
answer? What should have been asked?
Give
us your take in a quick video commentary.
And if you didn't catch the interview on TV, you can
watch
it here.
Would you like to ask Sen. Barack Obama a question? Well, here's
your opportunity.
The Democratic presidential candidate will be in "The
Situation Room" on CNN tomorrow to discuss what's next in his
campaign in his first interview since his significant win in North
Carolina and narrow defeat in Indiana.
So, what question would you like to ask? Submit it as a
comment below or
send
in a question on video.
Making little reminders to yourself on paper is a common
organizational activity, and you've probably made plenty of to-do
lists and impromptu sketches. We want to
see
your notes and hear your stories about them.
If you keep a notebook with you, show us your favorite page.
Make a video about your scribblings, or take a picture of your
favorite note and tell us the story behind it.
Share your notes on iReport.com.
Are the Democrats
coming down
with a case of hoof-in-mouth syndrome? The tense battle for the
party's presidential nomination has inspired a number of cartoons
posted on iReport.com. What do you think? Check out
these
cartoons and
post a comment to share your thoughts, or
draw
your own conclusion.
So, you're walking into the kitchen and lo and behold, a
bunch of bananas looks just like a mouth. Saucepan lids? Perfect
eyes. You've got to tell someone about this face you're seeing.
Time to send an iReport!
MikeMiller did.
Whether you've got a case of
cannibal
lizards or a
cat that sits on
eggs, we want to see your offbeat images. We even have an
ongoing series of robots and zombies (and presumably robotic
zombies) performing for us on a regular basis courtesy of
castvee8.
These aren't the biggest headlines of the day, but you can't stop
looking at them. You probably see plenty of funny things from time
to time. Next time, send us a photo or video.
The price of fuel is at record highs, and it's affecting other
prices too -- like the cost of food.
There's a great discussion about food prices happening right
now on iReport.com.
Crankers
thinks $1.69 is too much for a head of
iceberg
lettuce.
XMan suggests a
heavy
diet of dried
beans.
millerlb says
a family of 7 can survive on
$25 a day. And
GeekyCraig
says he has changed everything about the way
he shops and
eats.
So, how are food prices affecting you? What are food prices
like in your local markets?

Hi gang, your iReports continue to amaze and inspire. Today we're
continuing our "Fun on Friday" project, where we ask you to take
part in a creative assignment.
This week, we want to see the amazing places you've been.
Surely you've traveled some place cool. We want to see it -- just
for fun!
Share
your amazing journeys with iReport.com.
That's exactly what I wondered when we began asking iReporters for
pictures and videos of man caves -- a testosterone-filled space
that men can claim as their own. We soon received a big response
and I learned that no man cave is alike.
One submission in particular caught my eye. iReporter
kmac1967 not
only took photos of his man cave, he also
gave a guided tour
of his tropical oasis. The video captures the viewer's
attention and really captures the essence of a true man cave.
So, if you have a man cave,
let
us see it! Do you have pictures of your man cave in progress? A
funny video from the boys' poker night? Be creative and have fun.
Thanks for being a founding member of the iReport.com community.
We're always up for trying something new -- and we'd like to
start something fun on Fridays.
Every week, we're going to ask you to take part in a creative
assignment. We promise to keep it fun and informative.
This week, we want to see your fun with
time-lapse
photography.
If you've ever captured a sun setting, snow piling up, a
flower growing -- whatever -- we hope you'll share your incredible
creations on iReport.com.
Go
here to share
yours.
We tried something new this afternoon -- on the Assignment Desk page, instead of asking for eyewitness video and photos of news events, we tossed out a question about the dispute over Democratic primary delegates in Florida and Michigan. A handful of folks put their thoughts on camera and uploaded a video response, provoking some interesting conversation in the comments. I think the photos and video of the people sounding off add a new dimension to their arguments. What's your take? Should we ask more questions on the news on iReport.com? What would you ask? Drop a comment to let us know.
