Positive but fake NYT
A fake NY Times was put out today, spreading the message of hope, amazing production looks exactly like the paper and online version, but with nothing but good news. My buddies at Green Team put a screenshot up on their blog.
NOTES FROM THE MEDIA REVOLUTION
I started my career on a newspaper but realized that there was a media revolution taking place elsewhere. I wanted to be part of it, and set out on a mission to define the Internet as a new medium for storytelling.

The night Barack won: This was the first image I shot after jumping out of a cap on 125 street in Harlem. Check out the rest of my Election day (and night) below.
Election night in Harlem: People were cheering, banging garbage cans, cruising the streets with horns hunking, and just generally uniting in happiness.
Harlem on election night: It was one of those rare moments where it felt like everyone connected and we could do anything. The sirens are just the Police and Fire squad cheering for Obama.
After a bit of celebration in Park Slope, Brooklyn, I jumped in a cap and drow through town. I ended up on 125 st, Harlem, where I spend a couple of hours as part of an ubelievable party.
After the first reaction came a collective sigh of relief. People almost could not believe that it was actually true.
When the Californian polling stations closed it was finally clear that Obama was indeeed the winner. This is minutes after the annoncement on CNN at a sports bar in Brooklyn
We were watching NBC. Suddenly somebody started yelling for “CNN”. They switched the channel, and CNN was announcing Obama as winner. The place exploded.
