Citizen Media: An Introduction

cit-media-thumb-5575982The Rising Voices, a project by Global VoicesDavid Sasaki, has released a wonderful, straightforward introduction to the subject we love – An Introduction to Citizen Media.

The booklet has an overview of blogs, blogging, podcasts and vblogging with case studies along with a few interesting quotations on media. It can be a good resource to understand these aspects of citizen media and blogs for the novice or wanna-to-be bloggers. Direct Download.

Produced by Bruno Giussani and Ethan Zuckerman, this is an interesting reading describing how to blog during conferences and rewards of conference blogging. Direct Download.

In Nepal, I rarely see this as useful booklet because:

  • A lot of bloggers, including me, are still on planning phase to buy a laptop.
  • I am yet to attend a seminar in Nepal that provides internet facility.

    I couldn’t agree more with you. Let’s have a foundation for bloggers in Nepal and get some help from Government for basic necessities even the Internet access, etc. A lucky you who have Rs in hand are only the main bloggers. With frequent powercuts, extreme electric bills and a few bucks from the heart breaking hardship of our dads and mum don’t add much to our voices. in spite of all the hurdles, a few Nepali Journa have done more than even those in other countries born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

    So where is our citizen journa.. headed ? Will Nepali blogs be just texts and video or will it come close to becoming “I Report” of cnn.com

    I am very optimistic that Nepali blogs will soon dominate even the most popular news sites like kanti… and news… (add 1 dots; LOL!)

    Long live our efforts, and our courage. A gathering about ways to bring together all those at home be it in Pokhara or Palpa (and those abroad ) to collaberatley take the next step. If some are so fully couupied earning money and becoming more and more selfish, cross them out of the names, instead bring another. I am very sure, there are many hidden bloggers who have much more talent those who of us who could be enjoying the fame. (oh, god, don’t count me, I suck at it!) Let’s bring those hidden ones out.

    Make a path easy to walk trhough, let us all lead others.

    JAMIE REDKNAPP: I Said in my latest column that while Olivier Giroud’s scorpion kick is the best instinctive goal I have seen, it does not make my top 20 Premier League goals. Manchester United have five goals in my top 20 Premier League strikes of all time, while Arsenal have four… but there is no room for Olivier Giroud
