NEW YORK: International wire service Reuters has invested in Global Voices Online, a non-profit global citizens' media project, sponsored by and launched from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School.
"Support from Reuters will also allow us to do more outreach and training in parts of the world where there are currently few bloggers. Reuters’ generosity allows us to expand the range and quality of information we make freely available to anyone who cares to use it," said Global Voices Online in a statement. "We’re especially excited about the relationship because we see a great opportunity to help Reuters -- and the global media community as a whole -- to understand blogging better and the impact of Citizen’s Media on the world of journalism. We believe that the information, opinions and perspective that bloggers share complement conventional journalism and that bloggers and journalists can work together to give us a more accurate and representative picture of events and opinions around the world."
