The Brave Citizen Journalists of Egypt

It wasn’t until the Cairo-based Egypt Journalism Project (EJP) quietly launched in late 2012 that the Program Director, Carmel Delshad, realized the urgent demand for citizen journalism training across Egypt. Although still in its infancy, some Egyptians have taken multi-hour commutes to attend sessions that train members in the technical basics of media production and journalism. Like CitJo and Mosireen, EJP represents a rising class of educated citizen journalists stepping in to fulfil the demand for grassroots reporting in Egypt, much thanks to the proliferation of tools, platforms and methods for media professionals.
