Citizen Journalism

This is about citizen journaliin which is related to my previous topic .

Citizen journalism is a forum that citizens use  to express what happened at a particular place and also provide inputs like photos , audios and videos of what they captured at the spot where  something eventful had happened.

This sort of journalism places control in the hands of the "AAM AADMI" and lets the world know what is happening on the ground, or at least lets the world formulate its own opinion.

This would also aid in swift reaction times and will help people in networking.    

It makes use of the fast growing "WWW" which is the greatest invention or let us say development of our times.

In India with over a billion population and vis-�-vis a billion opinions this would help in getting the views from all parts of society. To aid in this we should enable the villages of India with cheap Internet. facilities.

Having said that I know that it is no easy task but would call for some intelligent investment form our representatives as a whole.
