ONN – Port of Oakland’s powerful legacy began more than 165 years ago. The Port’s past encompassed the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, two World Wars, and America’s coming of age as a global power. This two-minute video begins in 1927 when the Port was officially established and highlights significant moments in time at the Oakland seaport, airport and waterfront property.
Maritime: In the 1960s, it was the first major port on the West Coast to build terminals for container ships, a revolutionary technology at the time. Today, the Port of Oakland innovates and invests in its seaport infrastructure so that it continues to serve as a global gateway and vital U.S. export transportation hub.
Aviation: In 1962 completion of the 600-acre Oakland International Airport (OAK) complex inaugurated the era of the jetliner. Shipping giants FedEx and UPS have long-established West Coast hubs at OAK providing critical air cargo service and generating thousands of jobs.
Commerical Real Estate: The Oakland waterfront has served as a community destination since the 1950’s. It is a major player in Oakland’s current urban renaissance, creating jobs, housing, recreation and leisure activities. The Port’s portfolio includes Jack London Square where the public has access to stunning views of the waterfront, recreation, and indoor-outdoor dining options.
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has presented difficult challenges to all three lines of business. The Port and its dedicated staff have adjusted to the dramatic changes in the work environment, with safety protocols in place.
Business recovery is underway with fresh strategies on how to succeed moving forward, responsibly and sustainably. The Port will continue to adjust, invest, and innovate, to continue its legacy as a major economic driver, supporting tens of thousands of jobs in California and touching hundreds of thousands of jobs across the nation.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: 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 video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then 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.
