Community TV Documentary on Citizen Journalism
This from the UK’s Online Journalism News:
Cambridge Community Television (CCTV) – a US based electronic media public training forum – has released online an educational video about the history of citizen journalism.
The 15-minute documentary Citizen Journalism: From Pamphlet to Blog is a guide to US citizen journalism through the ages – from Thomas Paine in the 18th century to the more modern hows and whys of being an anti-establishment news hound.
The film features interviews with talking heads from the blogging world – including Ethan Zuckerman of Global Voices – discussing, amongst other things, how newspapers have gone through major cost cutting exercises as their revenues are leeched online by sites like Craigslist.
