Ford Fischer: Why You Should Surveil the State
You’ve probably seen footage and images of the January 6 riot at the Capitol captured by today’s guest, videographer Ford Fischer. A decade ago, Fischer cofounded New2Share, a radical experiment in decentralized video journalism. He and his colleagues gather long-form footage from all sorts of breaking news events, including protests organized by radicals across the political spectrum. They upload it to YouTube and elsewhere, and then let viewers draw their own conclusions. His coverage has been licensed worldwide and appears regularly on networks ranging from CNN to Fox News to NBC. Fischer’s YouTube and Facebook channels routinely get demonetized and in other sorts of trouble because of the controversial nature of his work. Reason‘s Nick Gillespie talked with him about why he started News2Share, what he hopes to accomplish by offering something truly unique in an age of 24/7 news coverage, and how his training as a Reason intern informs his worldview.
