AgoraVox ... citizen journalism

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.

You can find out what the press are saying about AgoraVox here.
