Behind the scenes at the White House
The White House has been running a series of Behind the scenes films providing an interesting insight into how the Executive branch operates, and a look at areas of the White House not seen before.
My view is these kind of behind the scenes videos contribute towards the tenets of the recently released Open Government Directive. These short films promote the principle of Transparency, by providing a more human perspective into how the White House operates. After all, the White House entity is just a collection of government employees doing their day jobs.
While the Transparency component of the Open Government plan does not explicitly state any requirement for Behind the Scenes films of how agencies operate, they're a useful mechanism for addressing the increasing YouTube centric youth of today.
