PeopleJam.com Partners With Barnes & Noble to Launch Online Video Series - "Why I Read" Short-form Videos Focus on Positive Impact of Reading on Life
Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2008 -- PeopleJam.com, the leading online resource for self-improvement, today announced the launch of a new online video series, produced in partnership with Barnes & Noble.com (www.bn.com), called "Why I Read." The series, which will start with seven episodes, focuses on the value and impact reading can have on personal fulfillment. After debuting simultaneously on PeopleJam.com and BN.com, the series will be syndicated to other online destinations.
"I know it's been said, but reading truly is fundamental. Books provide incredible opportunities to learn, to take emotional journeys, to be inspired, to laugh and to deepen personal relationships. We're excited to be partnering with Barnes & Noble Studio to offer an entertaining online series in which real people share why reading books is part of living a great life," said Matt Edelman, Founder and CEO of PeopleJam.
"In building out the Barnes & Noble Studio, our focus has been to provide people with compelling video series that celebrate books, writers and in this case, readers," said Mike Skagerlind, vice president and head of digital media for Barnes & Noble.com. "Working with PeopleJam was a natural fit based on their impressive commitment to such an important category in the book business, and it's given us a great new show."
The first episode of "Why I Read" will go live on PeopleJam.com and BN.com next Monday, August 18. The first episode and each subsequent video will be approximately 3-5 minutes in length.
The videos, to come out once every two weeks, consist of a series of interviews with engaging and eclectic individuals throughout Los Angeles expressing why reading is an important part of their lives.
The concept for "Why I Read" was developed by PeopleJam in concert with the Barnes & Noble Studio and the episodes are a co-production between PeopleJam and BN.com. Crossborders is handling production of the series.
