Al Gore Hires Sean Penn For Journalism Advice ...

[CatWoman]

Current TV, the Al Gore/Joel Hyatt-helmed youth-targeted network, has inked deals with some well-known celebrities, filmmakers and authors to instruct its viewer-contributors on journalistic techniques. The network has also increased the fee it pays viewers who contribute digital programming.

As part of the network's "VC2 Survival Guide," free online training guidelines for how to submit video content, Sean Penn will introduce tips on journalism and Robert Redford will give advice on storytelling techniques.

4. Al Gore

I know next to nothing about this upcoming TV program with Al Gore, someone want to clue me in on what it's about, and when and where it will broadcast?

Thanks in advance!

5. Al Gore WAS a journalist

Where did Sean Penn get his J-School degree?

And why didn't Al just hire me? I have a communications degree and I'm from his home state! :7

9. Sean Penn: women love him; men want to be his friend!

Wouldn't you love a friend like Sean Penn?
He seems like a good guy to me.

13. I'm a woman and I don't love him... but OK.

14. How about that Robert Redford? Hee'th haaaaanthom!

Rugged good looks yet sensitive.
Plenty smart. As a straight guy I am often surprised
by which guys women find attractive.
Even I can see why women are partial to Redford.

15. Hehe

I don't know either. :shrug: And yes Gore did journalism way before he ever entered political life. He worked for the Nashville paper The Tennesseean and went to Vietnam as a journalist. I'm surprised he is bringing on Penn. :shrug: But google "Current TV" and the person who asked you'll find the link.
