First Ever Live Webcast of the Doomsday Clock
Live webcast of the Doomsday Clock announcement in New York
Last week, for the first time ever, people around the world were able to tune in live to watch the announcement by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists as they made a change to the Doomsday Clock.
Created in 1947, the clock has become an universally recognized indicator of the world’s vulnerability to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate change and emerging technologies in the life sciences. This event was the first time the clock has moved since 2007.
Sonic Foundry Event Services was onsite in New York to webcast the announcement to nearly 6,000 live viewers. The panel took questions from reporters in the room and people watching at home via the Mediasite Player and Twitter.
In the last week alone, an additional 6,000 people have tuned in to watch the on-demand webcast.
