I was browsing around a favorite blog of mine www.angryasianman.com, when I came across a post about youtube videos that displayed prominent minorities urging others to get out to vote.


I posted this because it displays two things that I saw as very relevant to Diversified PR. One involves the use of new media [i.e. youtube] to get minorities to vote. As many of you know, new media is booming--and this is a prime example of how a PR tactic is being utilized toward minorities.


I am passionate about voting so this struck me as an AWESOME outreach tactic for the Democrats. Obama is really utilizing new media, and involving minorities in his campaign is crucial.


During the primaries, Obama lost to Clinton in California--this is huge since the Asian and Latino population is astronomical in Cali. Therefore, he did not reach out to those voters. He is changing that with his efforts now!


So kudos Obama and the Democrats!
