Today, a video was released by a citizen journalist of a little girl singing to the camera, and the middle of her song an explosion goes off. This is one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a while. I could hardly believe it was real.
Not only does this video exemplify the raw truth of what's happening in Syria today, but it also shows how important citizen journalism is today all around the globe. Citizen journalism exposes what is happening outside of what corporations like NBC and CBS are reporting. Everyday people are a part of delivering important news that wouldn't be seen otherwise.
It's amazes me how average citizens with a camera phone and internet connection can have a hand up on journalists with videographers, sound guys and editors. I kinda like it.
