As part of Beyond’s ongoing relationship with YouTube, the Project Report channel was designed and developed by the Creative and Build team. Using initial assets supplied by YouTube, Beyond produced the channel, which calls on aspiring journalists to enter a video report for a chance to win Sony and Intel products as well as a $10,000 grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
The channel incorporates the YouTube contest API and video wall gadget with voting capabilities. Hosted in the cloud using Google’s App Engine, the channel had a number of features including a custom built video carousel gadget. Detailed Google Analytics tracking was used to ensure full statistical reporting was available.
An associated YouTube homepage banner was also produced to promote the channel.
