Would-be Travel Journalists (TJs) can upload their video log and web log to be considered for the next installment of the popular international adventure series
With more than 10,000 people already expressing interest, Travel Channel has embarked on its journey to select five TJs to participate in the next season of this international series. Those chosen will visit major cities on a 13 week tour for the television series 5 TAKES, which has revolutionized internet/television interaction in real time. Viewers influence their journey by deciding what the TJs do via the Travel Channel website, and the TJs will document their first-hand experience with video logs (vlogs) and web logs (blogs) while interacting with viewers real-time via the Travel Channel message boards.
The Travel Channel is looking for a group of impassioned 20-somethings to travel the world and chronicle their experiences along the way. The network encourages those with a sense of adventure to log on to Travel Channel's website from December 2 until December 31, 2005 at http://travel.discovery.com/videogalleries/upload/index.html and upload their own vlogs and blogs for consideration by network executives. This is the first Discovery Communications, Inc. program to accept user generated content over the web.
Season Two of 5 TAKES, which premieres in Spring 2006, will allow the TJs to journal their honest, intimate perspective on trends, tourist traps, the history and culture, while ultimately capturing the essence of the cities they visit. The vlogs/blogs and message boards from the first season of the series are still live at http://www.travelchannel.com/5takes.
5 TAKES is produced by Rosenblum Associates for the Travel Channel. For Rosenblum Associates, the executive producers are Michael Rosenblum and Lisa Lambden. The executive producer for the Travel Channel is Howard Lee.
