YouTube has launched a new section on their service named CitizenTube. Apparently, this is the first time the company has hired professional editors to develop a special section on the service.
CitizenTube is basically a new YouTube channel where they are featuring unique political content. The section would display interesting relevant videos hosted on the service itself.
