How we know what we know?

Who makes the news?

What do we decide to pay attention to?

The potential of the Internet is many-to-many communications, across communities, languages and cultures.

We realized long ago that connectivity doesn’t happen by itself.

Online and offline worlds are interdependent.

Story, and the telling of it are also about power.

We work to find the most compelling and important stories coming from marginalized and misrepresented communities. We speak out against online censorship and support new ways for people to gain access to the Internet.

Overthrowing the Protest Paradigm - How Global Voices, the New York Times and Twitter Covered the Egyptian Revolution

Summer Harlow and Thomas Johnson from U. Texas

“Results showed that The Times adhered to the paradigm by emphasizing the spectacle, quoting official sources, and de-valuing protesters as reporters maintained an impartial role. In contrast, Global Voices and Kristof’s Twitter feed took different approaches, legitimizing protesters and serving as commentators/analysts, even actors, in the unfolding events. Global Voices also provided more opportunities for reader interactivity.”
