MediaShift Idea Lab: Interview with Alive in Baghdad’s Brian Conley
June 26th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Citizen journalism, Editors' pick, Press freedom and ethics
Ryan Sholin talks with Brian Conley, founder of Alive in Baghdad, which he initially set up as a video project to document the experiences of Iraqis living through the conflict.
Conley discusses the subsequent development of Alive in Gaza and Alive in Tehran, as well as how citizens are using Facebook, Twitter and voicemail to contribute reports to the sites.
Fascinating stuff – and a great insight into a digital/social media toolkit for pro-am journalism.
