What would you think if you heard that a newscast had special guests from Canada, France, Australia, US, and other countries, all on one show? And all of these people were in the same room at the same time on live TV? Well, eight-time Emmy award winning reporter Sarah Hill is doing just that with her new show "U on TV".
You might wonder how she is able to bring all of these people together. The technology that she's using is Google Hangouts which is a component of Google Plus (G+) along with her regular TV newscast. Basically, she starts a hangout before her newscast begins, then she invites specific people to join her behind the scene of her newscast.

"KOMU 8 is partnering with area libraries to install webcams so anyone can join in on sharing content. The project is thanks to a grant from the Reynolds Journalism Institute. KOMU 8 has had success during breaking news and severe weather when it comes to using social media and sharing it into our broadcasts."
