Citizen Media: A Global Innovation Competition

by changemakers.asia on Jul 25, 2011      Category: Useful Resources Tags:

 Ashoka Changemakers has launched a very important competition to source innovation in the field of media, titled 'Citizen Media: A Global Innovation Competition'. Here is an overview:  


 
Media connects people to their world, gives voice to their ideas and dreams, and equips them with knowledge to improve their lives and the lives of others. In all these ways, media catalyzes participatory citizenship, on both a local and global scale. But even in this age of pervasive media, many millions of people marginalized by political and economic barriers lack access to even the most basic tools of information -- thereby depriving them of valuable input and connection, and depriving the rest of the world of their voices.
Ashoka Changemakers and Google hope to change that by inviting the world’s citizens to enter 'Citizen Media: A Global Innovation' competition. The entry period for the competition is now open until Sept 14, 2011. For more information, visit www.changemakers.com/citizenmedia
