NY Times debuts video ‘Letter to the Editor’

The NY Times has today published its first ever video ‘Letter to the Editor’.
Filmmaker Charles Ferguson sent the newspaper a video rebuttal to an opinion piece that L. Paul Bremer III (former head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq) wrote about disbanding the Iraqi army.
The 10-minute video letter is a shining example of how newspapers should be embracing UGC content. As far as I’m aware, the use of video for this purpose is a global first. It’s worth a watch.
