This week, ABC World News with Charles Gibson webcast a two-part online video series about the reports I filed (NPR, Wired News 1 2 3 4) on technology and the Tibetan diaspora.

PART 1: Here is the link to the piece, Here is the link to the whole webcast.

PART 2: Here is the link to the piece, Here is the link is the whole webcast.

ABC has now been webcasting news for about 9 months, and it's interesting to watch this take form. Some stories are not part of the normal World News Tonight broadcasts -- they appear exclusively in the webcast (what I love about their web delivery interface: it's *not* WMV, unlike some of their competitors; what I don't like: unless I'm missing something, it seems you're not able to navigate forward or back within a video once it's begun playing).

But the network is also making these available as video podcast quicktime files (for free), so you can noodle around to your heart's content. And some longer-form ABC News specials are available via iTunes now, for $1.99 or so a pop: Link.

Incidentally, CNN International ran a "Techwatch" segment this week about the Tibet series, too (video isn't available for blogging at this time).
