VIVIDH - VIDEO VOLUNTEERS NEW INITIATIVE ON COMMUNITY JOURNALISM
Posted on 31 Dec, 2009 10:12 AM

Imagine a journalist, activist or government official receiving a press release and a video in her inbox and it reads, “The practice of Untouchability in schools in India is a problem many people assume no longer happens. Well, last month, 60 community journalists investigated the issue in every state in India, and found troubling visual evidence of the practice across the country. These activist-journalists are rallying their communities to address this issue. Will you join them in speaking out? See the proof, realize the scale of the problem and take action!”
 
Clicking on the link leads you to a video gallery with 60 short videos, each from a different region/state, demonstrating the widespread nature of this issue and other problems. The main video provides a journalistic roundup of the overall problem.  Other links lead viewers to take concrete action to combat the issue.
