Last month, rabble.ca launched a contest giving entrants the chance to win a Flip camcorder and become a rabbletv correspondent. We asked contestants to send in a 30-second video telling us why they should be the next rabble video correspondent.
We’re pleased to announce that Mike Yam, a Masters student at York University in the faculty of Environmental Studies, has won the contest.
Yam is a perfect fit for rabble.ca, having rabble-roused with video before with Housing Not War and York University strike coverage that's already been featured on rabbletv. He is also in the midst of shooting a documentary film about the state of homelessness in Toronto for his Master’s thesis project.
Yam is also an active member of the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee (TDRC), a housing/anti-poverty group based in Toronto, has done video-work for the TDRC as well as CUPE 3903 at York University.
Look soon to rabbletv for coverage of progressive events with Yam’s new Flip camcorder. Welcome aboard Mike!
