Podcast with Jillian York: Role of Web 2.0 in reporting about Gaza

January 13th, 2009Esra'a (Bahrain)

This is a podcast I conducted with Jillian York, blogger and activist. Jillian writes for several sites including The Huffington Post, KABOBfest, Global Voices Online, and WeMedia.

In this podcast we talk about the role of Web 2.0/social networking sites in reporting about the conflicts and current massacre in Gaza. We talk about the present usage of this as well as the future of where this is going. She has a lot of fascinating things to say concerning the subject so anyone interested in the subject should definitely give this a listen.
