A different perspective from the mind of Martín Paredes
About
Please note that on June 28, 2011 the El Paso News Organization changed its mission and became my personal blog. See the article here.
Although I firmly believe in the concept of citizen journalists and I still want to offer a platform for incubating citizen journalists it quickly became apparent that I ended up writing most of the articles and therefore decided to make it my personal blog. If the time comes where citizen journalists are looking for a platform then I will again consider incubating a platform for the endeavor.
In the meantime please enjoy my personal musings. Below is the original mission of the website.
Welcome to the El Paso News Organization (elpasonews.org) – a new resource for bold, inclusive, and hands-on journalism created for the community, by the community, or, better known as “citizen journalism.” To this end, this website is designed to give citizen journalists, like you, a voice where you can take an active role in the reporting, analyzing and dissemination of news and information.
The concept for this new form of citizen or “street” journalism is that people, like YOU, can have the audacity to pick up a camera or put words to paper (or in this case to screen) using modern tools to produce your own news reports. In addition to news aggregation from other outlets, we also want to give, YOU, the reader an opportunity to generate original stories about the news you care about.
All types of content — from stories to photos — are welcome.
