Srdja Popovic addresses the Newsmotion Gumbo Kickstarter fundraiser in New York on December 27, 2011. Popovic is a co-founder of Center for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS) and was one of the youth resistance leaders in the Serbian group Otpor that helped bring down Slobodan Milosevic.
Changing who, where, how and why news is produced.
You’re invited to come mingle with some of New York’s most innovative and passionate independent journalists, writers, artists, photographers, and documentary filmmakers — and help us achieve our Kickstarter goal. Your contribution will help launch Newsmotion in Spring 2012.
Newsmotion's interface streams and sorts news in three categories: Official (governments and international institutions), Unofficial (independent media organizations), Citizen (individual bloggers and journalists).
And coming soon, we'll have a preview of our map-based audiovisual series, curated by Newsmotion contributing photo editor Alan Chin and producer Julian Rubinstein.
Newsmotion photo editor Alan Chin, of Facing Change Documenting America, took this shot at about 2 am, November 15, during the New York City police eviction of the Occupy protesters from Zuccotti Park. In defining Newsmotion's role as a civic media initiative that promotes true democracy and longterm solutions, we are producing stories on themes such as nonviolent resistance. This summer, we sent Belgrade-based photojournalist Matt Lutton to join Newsmotion adviser Todd Gitlin on his visit with Srdja Popovic in Serbia. Scroll over the photos to hear snippets of their discussion.
