Samir, over at The View from Fez, introduced me to this new form of journalism.
AgoraVox puts together one of the first large-scale European initiatives for a totally free of charge "citizen journalism". Our initial standpoint is simple: thanks to the effective democratization of multimedia and information technologies (IT), each citizen has the ability to potentialy become a "reporter" who can identify and offer high added-value information. With means of a simple phone, a computer, a camera or a a digital video camera, thousands of internet users or bloggers are now able to perform an incredible local work that no media, no organization, no association could ever accomplish.
