This year-long project is a new multi-platform initiative exploring the impact of the Web and digital media on life in the 21st century. The project will unfold through a series of online video reports and user-submitted stories that will springboard to a national television broadcast to air in winter 2010.

The Digital Nation Web site will include online video reports on how the Internet and technology are changing cultures, reshaping workplaces and creating new approaches to the way we solve problems. Issues to be examined include the Web's impact on education, how social media has changed the way individuals interact, and Internet safety and privacy. Central to the site will be a mosaic of user-generated content designed to let visitors participate in the documentary process. The site also will feature a producers' blog, embeddable video and other sharable content, and a schedule of live online events with expert guests.
