“Lindsay Campbell gives out her phone#!”

That was the subject of the e-mail I received this morning from Jeff Marks the executive producer of [MobLogic.TV](https://moblogic.tv/). He writes… Hey Josh Just wanted to draw your attention to today’s time sensitive Moblogic. In the spirit of the Sean Bell coverage we did, MobLogic is in Georgia this week, covering the second execution the state has carried out since the Supreme Court decided to allow lethal injections to continue. To cover the story, we’re asking our viewers to comment, video comment, etc and tell us what aspects of the case they’d like to see covered. We’re doing our best to create an interactive journalism experience. We also gave out Lindsay’s phone number so viewers can call her directly with suggestions. Really excited to get the word out about our little experiment, and hoping you could help us spread the word. A quick blog post about it, or a link to the show, or even just broadcasting Lindsay’s number would be a huge help. We’re trying to stir up how this stuff gets covered – it’s as much a media story as it is a death penalty story. Here’s a link to the show: http://www.moblogic.tv/video/2008/05/21/execution-day-what-would-you-do/ …(one unrelated line and closing salutation omitted) Having not tuned into MobLogic for a while, I had missed their coverage of the verdict regarding Sean Bell, but found the episode in which [Lindsay is arrested at the protest](https://www.moblogic.tv/video/2008/05/11/lindsay-arrested-yellow-journalism/) to be particularly insightful (I’m especially curious how exactly she managed to get a camera into her cell), and I’m really excited to watch how MobLogic is exploring new journalism. Right now, the Moblogic crew is in Georgia where David Crowe is set to be executed tomorrow at 7PM. A Google news search turns up very little about his execution; in fact, it seems that Moblogic may be the only outlet actively covering the story. When it comes to the death penalty, or any story really, there are a lot of sides that can be explored, and a lot of questions that can be asked. In order to help navigate what Mob Logic should focus on, the show has asked people to offer suggestions by commenting on the [blog](https://www.moblogic.tv/video/2008/05/21/execution-day-what-would-you-do/), but in an effort to make themselves even more accessible, Lindsay Campbell has gone ahead and shared her number – (917)273-7212. Sure, it’s unusual, but it isn’t unprecedented. I remember Robert Scoble talking about how he’s had his number on the internet for years, and Justin Gunn of Current TV shared his number after it was leaked with the rest of Paris Hilton’s cell phone, but it does demonstrate that Mob Logic is committed to having a conversation with their audience and pursuing networked journalism. Although others may suggest that it’s just a publicity stunt and she’s planning on switching to AT&T when the 3G Iphone comes out in a couple weeks anyhow (by the way, I making that up)… As of right now, 12:30PM – Lindsay has received 30 calls and 20 texts… I didn’t ask, but she didn’t mention if any of them were weird stalkerish types, but I’d expect all of the calls were legit.
