Citizen Journalism
Google Desktop has nice CNN IBN live TV gadget. It has made it possible for me to catch up evening India news during my morning tea time. :)
Anyways, CNN IBN has come up with new concept called 'citizen journalism'. There is debate whether they invented it, or they made it famous. But that is not my point. The motive is to give platform to common people who are working on social, political issues, fighting for their rights, trying to put forth their views. I really don't know how comprehensive & inclusive this program is, because I have seen only one episode. But that episode was good enough to make positive first impression.
Personally, I find CNN IBN neutral and controlled news channel. Rajdeep Sardesai has done really good job. I heard that NDTV is also a good news channel, but I haven't had chance to watch it. Now a days, many news channels have made news-reporting nothing but sensationalism. When their reporters read news, I only see bloodhounds trying to bark their hearts out. (Sorry for such wicked comparison, but I can't help).
Anyways, these are side-effects of having free but uncontrolled media. I try to please myself by ignoring the 'uncontrolled' side. :)

Quote of the day
Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders progress.
