Introducing CNN.com’s “Freshman Year”

Wow. That was my reaction after watching CNN.com’s first installment of Freshman Year, a new Web video series that follows two freshman House members.

While the members, Reps. Jared Polis, D-Colo., and Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, are ideological opposites, they seem to have a lot in common as freshman members of the House.

CNN.com issued both of the congressmen the Flip camera to document their Capitol Hill whereabouts.

We see both personal and professional sides of the new congressmen. We also see both of their private bathrooms.

But of course, we see that members of congress are people too.

What a great use of video. This is unprecedented transparency!
