YouTube video of the day: The power of citizen journalism

What is the point of being lost in this virtual world which has no beginning or an end? In this video, blogger/journalist Sonya Rehman, and TEDxKinnaird shed light on the power of citizen journalism and how it stands as a new form of visible proof in the world today where there are multiple happenings with limited resources to follow them.

According to Rehman, people today can take matters into their own hands by raising awareness about issues such as the impact of the floods that ravaged so many homes. Citizens have become the instigators of change and have used these resources to bring about a tangible transformation in our society.

Today, social networking has provided a forum where people come to share their grievances, to send out a message that could change age-old perspectives and work towards a better Pakistan.

Video Rating: Two thumbs up for instigating change!
