Citizen journalism:
Bearing witness to violence
        Sanjana Hattotuwa
Naren: Digital native
His future post-war

• Individually addressable humanity
• Phones and PCs morphed,
  differentiated only by size, not capacity
  or capability

• Multiplicity of stories
Our present
The telegenic revolutions
What does this mean?
  For marginalised citizens and people
Bearing witness
• Curation, participation
• Existing technology
• Mobiles
• Text, photos, videos

• Change rare, narratives abundant
Mobile and the mobile
                              Retelling stories



18%
                       How we perceive and communicate



           82%



 Mobiles         PCs
                                 Shapes peace
The new violence
  Data loss is lives lost
Peace is an idea.

   Technology gives voice.

      Stories give hope.

Citizen journalism transforms.




                           This is my life
                                 This is my work
