Thank you for reading and considering the Women News Network - WNN initiative for global women citizen journalists. WNN believes strongly in giving women a chance to SPEAK to bring vital stories to the public through Google News and over 450 UN agencies and affiliates. By partnering with We Media and Ashoka's Changemakers our goal is to kick off a program that will help develop new and important voices in the world of global humanitarian journalism.

I like this idea, it's a wonderful way of building up cases for advocacy around issues that manifest in different ways in our various countries but with an equaly oppressive impact on women.

On a local scale, would you consider using this model to link community reporters from youth media clubs or community radio stations to develop media material to feed into national radio or tv productions?

Kind regards,
