We’ll be finishing the Your Story citizen journalism project at the end of June 2009. Funding priorities at the BBC World Service have changed, but there will still be citizen generated content included in the BBC World Service. Our news programmes will continue to incorporate citizen journalism perspectives. You will still be able to comment on the news stories through the World Have Your Say blog and also send in your photos and video to the Have Your Say page of bbcnews.com.
The Your Story citizen journalist reports that are still being worked on between now and June are drug gangs in Mexico, children of Sierra Leone, Jeff in Washington is recording his diary as a teenager who has not been able to go to school for the last two years, Robben Island’s small community in South Africa are recording a piece on the discovery of bones belonging to political prisoners of the 1960′s, Bangladeshi drug problems, and perhaps the attitudes of Ugandan farmers to GM crops and hopefully a piece from China to mark the 20 year anniversary of Tiananmen Square.
If you have a recorder from a piece you have already completed, I’ll be in touch with you all individually, to let you know where to send them onto. I’m still here until the end of June though!!
