From the Arab Spring to Afghanistan, the media takes center stage in Citizens Rising: Independent Media and the Spread of Democracy, a new book reflecting decades of experience at the frontlines of social change, from the perspective of independent journalists and activists working to revolutionize information. This is the first book to recount the story of the media activists who helped transform contemporary history with consequences that will continue to reverberate into our future.
“The shift from media controlled by a few, to media owned by all of us portends a revolution as great as that which followed the invention of the printing press,” says author David Hoffman. Hoffman is an expert on international media and co-founder of Internews.
