Describe your project:
Metropolitan areas in the state of Wisconsin are still well-served by journalism, but many other areas of the state are not. We are attempting to build a network of web sites across Wisconsin that will serve local areas with a combination of Citizen Journalism, aggregated news from other sources, and contributions from nonprofit and other groups around the state.
Forgotten Diaries is an international award winning innovative project raising awareness of forgotten conflict zones (those which are hardly covered by the media) and empowering young people in them to bring about positive community development and build a culture of peace. 50 young people from conflict zones participate like citizen journalists blogging about life in conflict zones and helping raise awareness of issues on the ground. FD offers training and funding to help them and other youth bring about change at the grass roots.
