The streets of Sydney Australia last week were crowded with protesters and police during the APEC summit, which saw world leaders from across the globe visit the city to discuss an array of politically, economically and environmentally controversial issues. The regular media here in Australia covered the event ad-nauseam. They were not alone. One of the cameras on the streets was that of Cnet.com.au, sister site to the hugely successful US-bred Cnet.com. What would a tech site be doing covering APEC? They were covering the people covering it. As the Cnet.com.au camera pans across the crowd, it's quite amazing to see how many people were there undertaking citizen journalism. They interviewed a handful of people about what they intended to do with their footage and why they were there capturing the event. It's a brief but fascinating glimpse into an ever-growing phenomenon. Watch it here. |
