Workshop on Citizen Journalism and Civil Resistance

This workshop will cover key strategic and tactical lessons of successful nonviolent movements, examine the role of independent media in civil resistance, look at the impact of digital resistance and international actors, and offer practical guidance to citizen or authentic journalists in developing stories, doing investigative field reporting, initiating video reports, and other practical aspects of citizen journalism in countries where civil resistance is now being used. The workshop will help active citizen journalists upgrade their understanding of civil resistance and help those involved in movements and campaigns to improve their skills in developing successful media coverage. Applications are now being accepted from citizen journalists, communicators, bloggers, independent media makers, and others interested in providing coverage of political and social movements seeking rights, democracy and justice.

Deadline to apply is January 31, 2011. See here for more information.
