I wanted to give the readers of this blog an update on my progress with the citizen journalism site. After some collaboration on Facebook I decided to start off with citizeneyenews.com as a place to compile information about citizen journalism and citizen journalists. It is sort of in beta right now because I wanted to rush to get the site live for tomorrow’s Occupy the Ports protest.
Also, I got laid off from my job, so I have had to put a lot of energy towards my job search and haven’t had as much energy as I have wanted to dedicate to this.
I also created an umbrella site called Red Guy Blue Guy Media. I did this for two reasons. One is that I liked the logo I created so much that I wanted it to have a site of its own. The second is that the logo was a little too “you versus me” for my taste for citizeneyenews.com. I love the emotional impact the logo has, but I want to make sure that citizeneyenews.com stays focused on reporting about citizen journalism and not only the opposition to it.
Please feel free to spread the word about either of these sites and as always I am looking for feedback and participation on both.
The logo is getting some good attention on Reddit, so if you have an account, please take some time to upvote it.
