Got a cam phone.. Get into action.. NOW!

Last week I saw lots of mails doing the rounds that there were lots of protests/support marches across India regarding the reservations issue. The surprising element however was that many of the mails stated that main stream media was not covering lot of the news and they are being forced not to ! which I felt to be very disturbing.

If that is true, what can we do to get the truth out to light?

We can do a lot really.. So to speak. The answer being Citizen Journalism. Almost many of us have the luxury/luck/fortune to have simple tools like DigiCams or Phone with cameras.. simple cassette voice recorders. We can always trap the happenings ( good and bad ) and send them to media attention or simply post on sites like http://www.nowpublic.com/ and many more. Ofcourse you can always have your blog featuring this news. I know some blogs have a huge loyal readership. So its not always upto the main stream media to cover or not to cover stories. Now YOU can take control.

So, what are you waiting for.. Go and Get 'em!

Just as they say "If you see something.. Say Something".
