Virtual Newsmakers is a webcast featuring everyday people who are bridging traditional and digital communications and empowering human communications through technology.
The show's purpose is to ensure the audience gains something productive from the conversation. What to do when... How to deal with... All of these shows are kept on a positive note.
Virtual Newsmakers is not like most news shows. The goal is to give people something worth listening to and provide immediate and insightful tips they can take away and implement into their business or lives that will make a difference.

The New Vigilante Justice: Reading the Sanford Rape Survivor's Victim Statement
This show was off the grid from our normal Virtual Newsmakers format. It is a show about solidarity, about women, and about using our voice to protest lenient sentencing, a biased justice system, and the unreasonable expectations that society places on women in our courts. This is a show to honor and support the Stanford Survivor whose words have inspired and empowered a movement for change.
