I came across this Youtube video piece by a group calling itself "Video Volunteers":
We really need to promote public journalism by ordinary people, to improve civic action.
The biggest corruption scams may be at the state and federal levels, but the most common routine corruption is at the local level.
Sure, everybody complains about corruption, but documenting it is the best way to really put the guilty on the spot and in the spotlight.
The corrupt ruling party and their rentable media mercenaries have gotten a free ride with their "India Shining" mantra, but if enough public journalism can put their lies to shame, then it will significantly curtail their latitude to commit excesses.
We may talk about the potential for cellphone-led Jasmine revolutions in China nextdoor, but if we can put our own house in order, we'll be much better off for it.
