Firing Line Television Program Collection

The Hoover Institution maintains a database of 1,504 episodes of the television show Firing Line, which was moderated by William F. Buckley Jr., who died last week.

Income distribution movies

Information Aesthetics features two YouTube videos that animate U.S. income distribution. Is this an as-yet unexploited method for newspapers to illustrate complex issues? (Granted, any video of anyone doing anything embarrassing, goofy or in the buff would dwarf the viewership of something like that, but we're just throwing ideas out here.)

UC Berkeley on Google Video

The University of California at Berkeley shares videos of campus seminars, courses and events on Google Video. Of special interest to journalists are the videos from the journalism school, including appearances by Judith Miller, Dan Rather and Seymour Hersh (though, sadly, they misspelled his last name on the opening slide)
