Young citizen journalists getting into the act in Kolkata, Global Voices Online, February 1, 2008
It has been eight weeks since the Neighborhood Diaries project first started. Every Monday evening from 6pm to 8pm the participants have gathered in a classroom on the 3rd floor of Bowbazar High School in Kolkata, India for their workshop on citizen media. Only one session was rescheduled due to an electricity outage, which is common in these parts of the world. So, all together, seven sessions were completed. Their curriculum is has been well-detailed and the methods are both innovative and impressive. It would be great to collect them and make a manual for training citizen journalists elsewhere in the world.
