Citizen Journalism: The world cannot respond, if it does
not know
The world cannot respond, if it does not know what is going on. Whether
it is an infectious disease outbreak or genocide in Darfur, the world needs
to know.
You can make a difference! How? Help us spread the word about
the importance of the Humanitarian Resource Institute Global Communication
strategy. The objective is real time communication of the unmet need
or challenge. It is as simple as a digital photo or video with an overview
sent to those involved with strategic planning and policy development (Humanitarian Resource Institute)
and/or the media (Media
Awareness Project: Global Media Contact Information and Email Directory).
