Al Gore launches youth TV channel
Mr Gore said: "We are about empowering this generation of young people in their 20s to engage in a dialogue of democracy and to tell their stories about what's going in their lives in the dominant media of our time."
Mr Gore said he was frustrated that television has traditionally been a "one-way" medium dominated by large companies.
"The $100,000 television camera has become a $3,000 high-definition camera, and the $250,000 editing console has become a $1,000 Apple computer program," he said.
"The five-person crew can be one young woman in her 20s with something the size of a handbag."
