Buy Or Don’t Buy

Over the summer I interned at the global citizen journalism startup GroundReport.com. It’s a small company, but it has a network of 3,000 reporters writing about everything from journalists being deported from Beijing to political violence in Kenya. It even broke the story of the bus bombings in Bangalore before The Guardian and The New York Times!

GroundReport needs your support. If the internet is good for anything, it’s asking people to help each other out. GroundReport is vying for a grant from Neo.org. Watch my old boss Rachel Sterne explain in the video above, or follow these steps:

1. Register on Neo.org.
2. Search for “Rachel Sterne” on Neo.org.
3. Click the link to “Take up this Personal Declaration”
4. You’re done! Say “Yay!” for citizen journalism.
5. Possibly win a phone camera! Even better!

I’m sorry for the blatant blegging. I promise more witty analyses of 90210 and James K. Polk soon.
