NGOs should learn from the Guardian
On March 27 Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian, launched a tweet abot ten participatory journalism rules that the editorial board of his newspaper decided to adopt. They also happen to be ten rules any non-governmental organization could – and should – make their own.
I tried to re-interpret Alan Rusbridger’s tweet on participatory journalism from on #openaid perspective of #openaidr:
One. Encourage participation.
Two. Go beyond us/them duality toward readers
Three. Encourages public debate, share other people’s writings
Four. Help all sorts of community to take action on shared interests
Five. Be open to the web, link, collaborate
Six. Aggregates and edited other people’s work
Seven. Acknowledge not to be the only authority in your field
Otto. Promote and reflect diversity as a value
Nine. Publishing is just the start, not the end of an article
Ten. Be transparent and open to challenge, correction and publication.
