My sympathies to Ms. Day, as she must watch TV for work....never has this been truer: "...a Vast Wasteland..."
The things we do for a paycheck!

The title of this article implies we'll learn where Ms. Day goes instead of Youtube, but there isn't really an answer other than just scouring the web. Or did I miss something? I am looking for resources for teachers, who can't always show YouTube in classrooms.

@Vee Bee Not sure of the specific restrictions barring YouTube use in class, so they may also apply to these suggestions. But if you are specifically looking for education oriented resources, TedEd (www.ted.com/watch/ted-ed) and Kahn Academy (www.khanacademy.org) are excellent. Additionally, your local public (or perhaps university) library likely has a host of digital resources available. Perhaps you missed that the article notes several resources Day has used, including Pacer, Factiva, and LexisNexis. She also discusses her work at ProPublica, which is itself an abundant resource: www.propublica.org.
The information in this article (and its helpful commentators below) could end up becoming priceless for the future of democracy in America.

The oldest streaming site in the USA is Folkstreams.net. It is curated site with a mission to preserve hard to find documentaries about ordinary Americans and folk cultures. NEA and NEH supported, the site streams mostly long form documentaries about American cultures. Many of the films were made by independent filmmakers working in 16mm film during the 1960s thru the 1990s.
