GlobalNeighbourhoods.TV No Longer With Fast Company


GlobalNeighbourhoods.TV, the Shel Israel hosted video interview show, is no longer with Fast Company.

According to a post at Global Neighborhoods, Israel claims that he asked to take the GlobalNeighborhoods.tv (GNTV) out of FastCompany.tv and to show it instead on the Global Neighborhoods website. Israel notes that the cost of sponsoring a show with Fast Company involved was too high and now that the show has been liberated, it will cost less to sponsor the show.

Israel also claimed that the move away from Fast Company allows him to declare himself an “an independent online journalist” and that this is a liberating experience.

Israel claims that he is still involved with the Workcast show with Robert Scoble…on FastCompany.tv, so perhaps the “independent online journalist” concept only extends to solo video blogging?

The GNTV show launched to a mixed response this year, and spawned a puppet based comedy series from 1938 Media.

    I wrote that I was redefining myself as an online independent journalist. I did not say that the move of GNTV was the cause of my adopting that title. As a freelance journalist, I hope to have work in numerous venues. As far as “claiming” to be co-hosrt of WorkFast, come watch it every Friday, where you can see it live at FastCompany.TV and sponsored by SAP.

    So please tell me what the spin is?

    You took the show out, but you're still working there, and now your independent, but the advertising was too expensive, so by moving the show it's cheaper…which makes it better???

    Sorry, I'm really not trying to have a big go here, but the spin is so colorfully muddled I can't really make heads nor tails out of it. The key messages are all confused… it was probably emotional on some levels for you to write the post so apologies for having a dig at the message, It's just….well….it's not Steve Gillmor but it doesn't flow well.
