Media Shift asks “Can human rights videos go viral?”

Posted on September 27, 2006 by

Mark Glaser, on the PBS-sponsored blog "Media Shift," recently posted about the new WITNESS "Human Rights Video Hub". Mark asks "so what if you could take videos shot by citizens of human rights
violations, such as police brutality or torture, and got them to go
viral, bringing more attention to the crimes?" He quotes from a couple of my posts on this subject, as well as gets comments from Gillian Caldwell and Tina Gongsakdi of WITNESS, and Rebecca MacKinnon, co-founder of Global Voices.

Thanks, Mark!
