Citizen video journalist Rami al-Sayyed was killed today in Syria. He maintained this Youtube channel, similar to other Syrian VJs (like Danny Abdul Dayem) who have been risking their lives to share information about the assault with the outside world. The last video posted on Rami’s channel is of his own body.
With reporters being banned from the country, these citizen journalists are our only access to footage from within Syria. Those like Rami (and Timothy Pool in the U.S.) are the revolutionaries breaking down traditional news conventions and structures. We should thank them for their work, and I look forward to seeing the impact citizen VJs will have on the information flow around the world.
