Purple States TV, an innovator in short broadcast-quality news video and interactive programming, announced that it partnered with washingtonpost.com to produce a documentary series that captures the run-up to the Presidential Election through the eyes of ordinary citizens. Purple States TV will be following five diverse citizens who will travel around the country to report on the 2008 election.

“The Purple States video series will showcase citizen journalism at its best,” said Eric Pianin, Politics Editor at washingtonpost.com. “Our readers and viewers will have the unique opportunity to hear from well informed and highly motivated citizens who are being sent out on the campaign trail to ask tough questions about the economy, education, national security and race and then demand straight answers from the presidential candidates and their advocates.”
