Jay Dedman most recently worked as a community organizer at Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN), a community TV station. He is also a videoblogger, moderating an active videoblogging group online at groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging.

He began as a writer and producer of local news in Cincinnati and Atlanta. After working at CNN International, he became discouraged with the coverage and worked as a freelance journalist in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This was where he first tried to use the Internet to publish video showing how people live in a country at war. Returning to New York, he continued his experiments with putting video on the web until he found that blogging was the perfect distribution method. He has worked hard to build strong communities around video, having helped create FireAnt.tv. Jay can be found online at momentshowing.net.
