WATCH: The ‘Christmas City’ is also a new UNESCO World Heritage site this year

OaklandNewsNow.com is the original blog post for this type of video-blog content.This summer, the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Moravian Settlement was inscribed as the United States 26th UNESCO World Heritage site, joining the list alongside cultural sites like the Statue of Liberty, and natural sites like Yellowstone National Park. The Bethlehem settlement joins three other Moravian settlements that are a part of the World Heritage site, in Germany, Denmark and Northern Ireland, tracing the rebirth and expansion of the church after a period of persecution. The Moravians, who split off from the Catholic Church before the Protestant Revolution used Bethlehem, Pa., named after the Middle Eastern city where Christians believe Jesus was born, as a base to send out missionaries. There, they created America’s first pumped municipal water supply, and built a community that reflected their unique values, such as teaching women as equals to men, and caring for residents from cradle to grave. The process for the so-called ‘Christmas City’ of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, perhaps best known for its Christmas charm and once-mighty steel mill, to become inscribed on the World Heritage list took over 20 years. Today, leaders hope that its new status draws tourists, including more international tourists, year-round, forming a World Heritage ‘triangle’ of nearby attractions– the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall in Philadelphia. PBS News’ Tim McPhillips travelled to Bethlehem to explore how the United States got its 13th cultural World Heritage site, who the Moravians were, and how Bethlehem’s origin is helping to define its future.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for PBS NewsHour uploads a video it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
