Witness/Witness Hub

Overall Rating4.944.944.944.944.94

URL: http://hub.witness.org
People: Peter Gabriel and others
What: Peter Gabriel’s Witness was a visionary game changer when it was created a decade ago: putting cameras in the hands of ordinary people to document and bring world attention to human rights issues. Its video sharing web site, Witness Hub, leaps forward by networking digital photographers and videographers. The goal isn’t citizen journalism. It’s documenting abuse, saving lives, shining light on those who avoid it.

    while we were talking about the shift in media control from big media to the public, witness were already using it to help change the world.

      Peter Gabriel and Company are by far the biggest advocates for change through the use of private cameras in private hands.

    “Give a person a photograph and he’ll look at it for life. Give a person a camera and it will become his life” (kam). That’s why Witness Hub gets my vote !

    How you think when the economic crisis will end? I wish to make statistics of independent opinions!

    It is impossible to think always only of job and problems which us surround! It is necessary to relax!
    All relax on a miscellaneous! I relax ;)
    Good idea of a domain name gamechangers.wemedia.com
