Jay Dedman is a community organizer who, for the past 4 years,  has taught people how to make TV at Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN), a community TV station. He is also an active videoblogger who has recently moved to San Francisco to work with FireAnt.tv, a video aggregator.

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 landed a job at Manhattan Neighborhood Network, one of the leading public access stations in the US. He continued his experiments with putting video on the web until he found that blogging was the perfect distribution method. His blog is momentshowing.net.
