Guy Berger, an educator from South Africa, is here at the Future of Civic Media conference at MIT, did an informal of several participants, and came up with this very good list of the most useful new media sites.
Guy, who is head of the School of Journalism & Media Studies at Rhodes
University in Grahamstown, South Africa, was awarded a $630,000 Knight
News Challenge grant for a fascinating News is Coming project. As he explains in this video,
the aim is to have local news reports disseminated through cellphones
to help connect an all-black township in South Africa with the white
population living in the urban center.
