Citizen Journalism 101: From Pamphlet To Blog - Video
Cambridge Community Television has put together recently a very interesting short video explaining what grassroots, citizen journalism is. The video includes some contributions from media and journalism professors as well as from buddying video blogger Steve Garfield, who has contaminated a Boston city counsellor with using grassroots video communication tools to make way for his ideas.
Cambridge Community Television has been hosting a three-month class in which members of the community plan, write, shoot, edit and distribute a short-form documentary on the subject of Citizen Journalism in a collaborative, citizen-journalism-style environment.
I have edited down the original video clip entitled "From Pamphlet to Blog" to about 9 mins, and have taken self-permission to make it available for open re-use by posting it on YouTube. The video clip bears a Creative Commons license that allows open re-use as long as full credit is always provided.
