Video presentation by Stalin K : ‘Occupy media’, a bold initiative to bring the voices of the poor and marginalised into mainstream democracy

Stalin K feels that by bringing real people’s issues to the forefront, the media can play a more democratic and informative role. He believes that the way to do is to through community media, by changing the profile of the content producers, empowering people in creating relevant content through the medium of personal narrative.

His team has trained about 300 community correspondents all over the country, to tell their unique stories about their own communities, which otherwise are left untold. By launching ’ IndiaUnheard’ , a news service by these Video Volunteers , this community-produced content is able to reach the mainstream global audience. He hopes to continuously add to this idea of ‘Occupy Media’, urging a billion more voices to be a part of this phenomenal movement.
