No citizen journalism on the world
The
BBC World Service has ended Your
Story its citizen journalism project.
The service invited participants around the world to submit ideas for
stories and news reports.
Individuals were provided with recording equipment, training and advice.
Citizen journalists sent in photos or video footage if they found themselves
in the right place at the right time, as a news story was unfolding.
Or, the BBC supplied suitable applicants with a recorder so they could
conduct interviews and record thoughts and opinions.
Results were published online, and broadcast on the World Service.
However, funding priorities saw the end of the plan after a twelve-month
trial.
Its demise is announced on the website.
