米国のWhite House Office of National Drug Control Policy(麻薬管理政策局)が、米国の政府機関で初めてYouTubeによるキャンペーン動画の配信を開始したそうです。
Washington, D.C.)—Today, the White House Office of National Drug Control
Policy (ONDCP) became the first U.S. government Cabinet agency to use YouTube, one of the fastest-growing Web sites on the Internet, to provide video content to Internet users worldwide. Beginning today, ONDCP will start posting videos of award-winning anti-drug advertising, national drug policy announcements, and other exclusive content on YouTube.com. This ground-breaking effort will enable ONDCP to reach more Americans online and illustrates how public institutions can adapt to meet the rapidly changing nature of today’s communications field.
日本からのアクセスが、かなりの割合を占めると言われているYouTube、 TVの広告費も浮かせるし(削減できるし)、もっと積極的に使う日本企業・公共組織が出てきてもおかしくないと思います。
