Analysis of a YOUTUBE channel


Personal Channel : www.youtube.com/user/cveitch

The Channel that I choose to analyze is a personal Youtube channel created by Cveitch, real name Charles Torres Veitch, a young independent guy from U.K.

The main porpuse of his channel is to awake people minds and give explanations about what is really happening in our world, all the things that medias and television don’t wanna you to know and reporting, with his camera, real actions on the streets; actions like trying to interact with Police, in order to create a better realtionship between people and force Police ( something that nowadays is missing ), explaining how they should be always protecting the people and not the company or corporation interests.

What Charles is doing is something really actual and really interesting, we are in a era where people is beacoming more conscious about the world and wants to know what’s really going on outside our home’s walls.

Looking into his profile we discover that his channel has 2.268.978 total views, since 2006 when the channel was created, and has 15.582 subscribers. Maybe is not so much people but the difficulties of undertstanding of the topics and also the poeple ignorance make his channel really hard to follow and to get know to the people.

Videos are update almost everyday, 143 amateur videos involving him and action around U.K., subscribers are really actives in responding, asking questions and sending feedbacks-comments to Charles that is answering properly to almost any comments, creating a solid and good relationships with them, creating real group discussions on every topic.My personal opinion is that Charles is doing a really good job with the channel, he is creating something similar to Citizen Journalism, but real news, not the filtered ones of the tv.

Nowadays Web Communication is offering incredible opportunities to speak to the world and spread your opinions to anyone; in time like these, I see, still far away, a possibility of freedom of speech.
