The Rising Voices Web site has released the first in a series of guides on
interactive media. An Introduction to Citizen Media offers case studies on
how people are using tools such as blogs, podcasts, online video and
digital photography to engage in global conversations.

Rising Voices, an initiative that promotes citizen media, said that the
goal of the guide is to show that anyone with Internet access can take
part in the “emerging global conversation.” The guide’s first edition is
available in English, Spanish and Bengali. Future editions will be
available in Swahili, Malagasy and Aymara, the organizers said in a news
release.

The guide in English (PDF format):
