Recently when I was catching up on the evening news I came across a story about how Australia's PM may be homeless until 2014 - a sarcastic headline read.
Upon Googling for a little more information on this story too my amazement I found a video on youtube that shows Julia Gillard talking to a homeless man in Brisbane's CBD.
This video below is quite simple but reminds me of the type of citizen journalism I strive for. Getting out there and getting a story to share with others.
Which brings me back to a lecture reading from last week on the definition of a Journalist.
"Whether reporting on a local planning decision or a dramatic international conflict, journalists play a key role in society. They keep communities informed and satisfy the public's right to know." - Creative Pool.
I think I may do a follow up story on the video below tomorrow. It has got questions going in my head that I would like to get answered.
