Comment on Citizen journalism at the Brisbane Club by Gari Sullivan

Gari Sullivan — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:34:03 +0000

Hi there,
I have just sent a copy of this message to Dr. Bruns after coming across a paper he wrote on the subject of citizen journalism in the 2007 election.

I am a citizen journalist, who reported in Syria last year (sometimes being the only Western ‘reporter’).

I am giving a talk in Brisbane at the Square Library on the subject of citizen journalism this Saturday 21st from 1:30pm.Its the final stage of my 4 month tour of Australia and New Zealand. Because of your interest in citizen journalism, I wondered if you would be interested in attending my talk. There will be a Q&A session at the end, which I hope, will turn into an interesting debate on the future of citizen journalism.

In my talks, I argue that most people do not understand the power of citizen journalism, so they don’t realise they are diminishing that power and control of the news agenda by using social media sites such as Facebook and YouTube.

My talks draw on my personal experience of reporting as a citizen journalist and from the two years of research I have carried out on the subject. It focuses on the role of broadcasters have in the development of citizen journalism, but also looks at the interest from governments.

If you are interested in knowing more about me and my talks, please visit my website http://GariSullivan.co.uk or send me an email.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss our findings in citizen journalism.

Many Thanks

Gari Sullivan

Hi,
Upon clicking to read your paper on Scribd, I was met with a notice informing me that the document is private, and thus off limits. Is this intentional? I’m interested in reading it. Thought-provoking stuff.

Heh - good point. In the same way that, say, Janet Albrechtsen or Richard Wilkinson are journalists, I guess…

Did I read correctly? You called Catherine Deveny a journalist?

Comment on Landeryou on “Freedom” and the “golden age”. by Ian

Ian — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:03:19 +0000

I’m banned from commenting on ‘Let Freedom Ring’ Vexnews; and the anti-Landeryou blog ‘Slanderyou New’ isn’t accepting comments because the blogger there is always fiddling with settings on his site. For the last fortnight it has been impossible to post a comment there because of a software glitch.

I’m trying to find a site where I can post anonymously without silly bloggers looking over my shoulder, demanding id, or (as Landeryou does) forever blocking and banning my comments.
