Adam Dickter interviews the Weprin brothers, Mark and David. Mark Weprin just assumed David’s old position in the City Council, while David is running for Mark’s old position in the State Assembly in a special election on Feb. 9. Produced and edited by Sharon Udasin.

Adam Dickter interviews John Liu, in episode #2 of The Jewish Week’s new vlog, “MetroPolitics.” John Liu is the comptroller-elect of New York City, and is currently a city councilman for the Flushing district. He’s also an incredibly nice guy! Enjoy the video — I think I did a much better job this time.

I introduce to you my first attempt as a video producer/editor and Adam Dickter’s first foray as a television reporter. As part of The Jewish Week’s effort to inaugurate its new Video Blog, hosted by Adam Dickter and produced by yours truly. The first attempt is not without glitches, as I shook the camera quite a bit (using a tripod next time) and I accidentally cut off both Adam and Mayor Koch a bit when splicing different pieces together. But for teaching myself entirely, I think I did a decent job. Comments appreciated as always…
