Digital News Production Unit- Creating the ARMA News YouTube Channel

I have recently begun to create the YouTube channel for this unit. On this Youtube channel, we will upload all of the videos we create for this unit, including everything from the workshops we attend. I have taken it upon myself to send the username and password for this channel to all the members of ARMA, so that any of us can log in at any point and respond to comment posted on our videos and even upload new videos and content.
Here is a screenshot of our channel as it is right now, with no customisation in place.
Obviously when we have decided on what logo we want use for our network, the logo will be updated to show this, and when we start uploading videos to this channel, it will look a lot more active with content.
The idea behind us using Youtube to showcase our network was the fact that youtube is integrated into almost all mobile devices these days, and it is also one of the most popular video sharing sites on the web. This will allow us to have lots of exposure for our videos, and will allow a much larger audience to view our work.

One of the very brief ways I customised the YouTube channel was to add a description of the channel. The description I added reads:


"Welcome to the official ARMA News YouTube channel.
Covering stories to do with advancing technology, security breaches, your rights and everything in between, ARMA has you covered when it comes to learning about an ever-changing technological horizon.
Stay tuned!"

I am hoping that this description would be enough to let any passing visitors to our page know exactly what we're about and possibly keep them interested enough to watch our videos or even subscribe to the channel.
