New: Case Study from Benghazi, Libya. Citizen Journalists Are on The Story

Posted by MelissaUlbricht on Mar 17, 2011

Our latest case study features Small World News, reporting live from Benghazi with citizen media efforts in Libya. About a dozen young Libyan citizen journalists are capturing and sharing video content of life on the ground in Benghazi, right now. And they are scooping many major media outlets in the process -- check out their footage captured yesterday from the eastern gate of Ajdabiyah, a city east of Benghazi where heavy artillery is moving in.

The Small World News team is armed with a few Kodak Zi8 cameras, 6 HTC Wildfire mobile phones, energy, and expertise in training citizen journalists. They've hit a few roadblocks along the way, but continue to post dozens of new videos for a larger international audience. Read more about their work here, including issues of security, mobile access, and human connection.
