Citizen Journalism

Recently been thinking about famous people/historical personalities who have impacted my life, and very strangely, instead of the normal lee kuan yew answer, or other political leaders, im strongly gravitated to this vegetable vendor in Hunan, China. Conferred the title "champion of citizen journalism" by TIME magazine, his exploits and efforts in procuring justice for the people in 2 cases is extremely commmendable.(Visit to learn more). Reporters without borders has also fascinated me ever since i came to know of it. Yet, its publications has rarely been publicized the way it should and its not getting as much power as it should be getting.

In an effort to engineer a power shift of the media from government states and private companies with sophisticated equipment and boundless resources, im trying to develop a website for such a purpose. This is the only way for normal citizens to be empowered with the power of the web, and in expressing their opinions provide a perspective to traditional media which is confined by the government restrains and advertising clout of companies.

Currently in the developmental stage, the website hopefully will be up in 3-6 mths time, and aspiring citizen journalists will finally be able to step onto the world stage and be on equal standing as the big companies. Yet, we will be a free entity devoid of bias and the only the truth will be presented.Keep the adrenaline down, prepare yourself for the day, and take the world by storm when it happens.
