WASHINGTON --The Radio Television Digital News Association launched its new webinar series today, with “Video Free For All,” a discussion of how to build a successful online video strategy, featuring experts from YouTube, The Associated Press and Current TV.  The webinar was hosted by Lane Beauchamp, Region 11 RTDNA Director.   The webinar was free to RTDNA members and non-members were charged a small fee to join; 100 people joined the webinar.  RTDNA will offer these free webinars on a monthly basis to its members as a member benefit. 

RTDNA Chairman Stacey Woelfel said, "The webinar today hit the target dead on in terms of delivering information news managers can't find other places.  The benefit came not only from the material prepared in advance for the webinar, but also from the opportunity for participants to interact through questions and comments, steering the session to where we needed it."
