Peter Gabriel on citizen journalism and social justice

Steve Safran December 8th, 2006

You know by now it’s one of my quirks: I love Peter Gabriel. His dedication to technology and empowering people with video cameras in the name of social justice was years ahead of its time. As part of the excellent series, TED Talks, Gabriel discusses the Witness project, which arms citizens with video cameras to document human rights abuses. In case you think Citizen Journalism is a recent, web phenomenon - Gabriel co-founded it in 1992. Watch.
