Web designer, and citizen journalist Chip Dizard is attending the Obama rally in College Park Maryland today. Dizard has agreed to share some of his video with MyUrbanReport. He’s planning to focus on why younger voters are supporting Obama.

I spent the morning giving Dizard a few pointers on what to expect at the rally. Getting media credentials is easier than you would think. You just have to know who to call. I told him to get to the riser (media platform) early, set up his tripod, and try not to get in the way of the mainstream folks. This video will give you an idea of what to do.

This is his first time getting media access, so I’m sure it’s a bit intimidating. The video will be posted as soon as it is edited and online.

We need more folks like Dizard willing to produce and share independent media.
