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).
