We Are all Citizen Journalists
That camera in your pocket needs to get more focused. We are already being recorded but those cameras pointed at us are recording at the wrong angle, nor should we trust their POV. We must focus our lens back at them, our surroundings and document the situation with more context.
Our context when collectively shared will provide a diverse set of POVs that can challenge the media’s opinion. Why let the media put words in your head when your fellow citizen already witnessed those events, along with their neighbors, along with that individual across the street. With our camera pointed at the right angle our collective lens just got more focused.
