Help Global Voices Cover Current Events

Global Voices is an international community of bloggers who report on blogs and citizen media from around the world.

See Ethan Zuckerman's TEDGlobal talk below about this amazing community that is carrying conversations across borders and languages. They are currently running at more than full capacity to cover the events in Libya, Egypt, Cameroon, Tunisia, Bahrain, and other places.

How you can help today:

1: Know someone in Libya?

In places like Libya GV is short on sources - helping us find sources and sending them to the people covering those countries is very, very helpful.

2: Share the news

Point to GV posts on comments on mainstream media sites, encouraging those sites to use our CC-licensed content. Help us spread the stories via Twitter, Facebook... and encourage people to like, follow the site

3. Join and appreciate the volunteers

Subscribed to the newsletter - http://globalvoicesonline.org/subscribe/ - so they're following GV after this crisis but before the next.

Notes to GV contributors that let them know they're being read, thanking them for the work they're doing - most of these folks are volunteers. These could be comments on blog posts or notes to their GV emails. We're also featuring thank-yous on the site...
