Want to become a Citizen Journalist?
Not long ago, online news sites discovered that users wanted to become part of the media conversation. Begrudgingly, many news sites added group blogs and other devices that cracked open the palace doors and allowed readers to become writers. Turns out the barbarians at the gates were adept at slinging words.
Now we're seeing the next stage take hold in the citizens' media movement. People are beginning to contribute rich media -- photos, video and audio -- to news sites.
In the process, thousands of amateur photographers, video-makers and podcasters have begun creating a flavour of news that's different from traditional journalism -- something more informal, spirited and community-based.
Hunter's Best through blogging, video blogging, and podcasting want's to recruit citizen journalists...providing information and insights from many sources in addition to traditional Hunter Valley media sources.
So, if you want to become a Citizen Journalist, please email Gordon at info@huntersbest.com.au.
