G20 Notes

This age of instant information has a lot of upsides, not the least being documentation. Lots of it.

During last week's G20 summit in Pittsburgh, recording what was happening wasn't limited to media pros and us independent journalists. Everyone was recording something, whether it was video, audio, notes or photos.

The big challenge is filtering the noise and finding quality footage and documentation among all the forms of media on the world wide web.

i'm beginning a page as an overview to the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh to link to some of the better quality documentation out there. i'll be updating this as new resources become available.
