3Speak's Citizen Journalist Onboarding Program!

avatar

Hello Everyone,

It's been a few months since we launched 3Speak to support and promote freedom of speech. Today we are excited to announce the launch of a special program to on-board Citizen Journalists from all over the world.

3Speak's Citizen Journalist Program

In order to be a 3CJ (a Citizen Journalist on 3Speak) one must be willing to film local political events in an unbiased way. A 3CJ (3speak Citizen Journalist) should do everything they can to capture a story from both sides, and ask questions from each party involved, without putting a bias on the event.

Citizen journalism refers to the reporting of news events by members of the public using the Internet to spread the information. Citizen journalism can be a simple reporting of facts and news that is largely ignored by large media companies. It is easily spread through personal websites, blogs, microblogs, social media and so on. Some types of citizen journalism also act as a check on the reporting of larger news outlets by providing alternative analysis.

A 3CJ's role carries huge social responsibility which can be a difficult and selfless task, especially if the journalist is reporting events that inflame political tensions.

I don't understand the obsession with using Google. STEEM and 3Speak both do that quite a lot.
Personally I've been abused by Google ruthlessly for over 10 years. I've worked for them, for free, and been censored, shadowbanned, placed behind age restrictions, banned in various parts of the world, called "borderline content", been labeled a domestic terrorist for my participation in the alternative media, been demonetized, and had my viewcounts manually adjusted downward to hide my support.
No, I won't be signing up through Google.
Can you guys come up with another way to do things?

Thanks guys, I may try that.
First I need to decide if I'm suitable to apply. Now that I've moved out of Vancouver for a while, which is where the activism and political action is here in BC, maybe I should stick to making documentaries and vlogs for now.

To be fair, Discord is just as bad. They have been banning lots of controversial content for awhile now and starting to ramp it up even more.

I also tried to add here but I had to add some amount which was not available to me so I had to wait a while or wait and add the amount and collect and It is my endeavor and I believe that no amount should be given for citizenship here, it should be equal for all, be it big or small for all.thanks....

@threespeak, Specially this Segment is sounding and holding the sound picture team and in my opinion if word will spread properly then definitely we will going to see many Independent Journalists soon and with that said, it will also boost Non Independent Journalists to purse this path.

My good wishes are with you team and let's hope for the awesome results. Stay blessed team.

I'm interested in doing this. However, I do not have any previous experience. But, I am very knowledgeable when it comes to politics and I have some decent equipment for the job too.

Great stuff though. I haven't actually done citizen journalism before but I have always wanted to. I think I'll give it a shot to build my portfolio then apply.

Oh, must it be political? The political sphere in Nigeria is really hardcore.

Excellent initiative threespeak team!
I've always wondered why we don't have more of this on Steem , it looks like we are getting closer and closer to getting some of our syndicated news piped through.

On STEEM, EOS or BITSHARES? have crypto?

Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.

This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken, They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretely so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everything they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decommissioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and their intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever acquired in life, even your freedom.

My hacking started with them introducing ransomware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acknowledged this to me in the server as it happened.

This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threatening and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramatization towards you. In 2017 this server was side marked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as an excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a prompt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make everyone wear headphones.

With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.

This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using their suggestive and threatening program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threatening letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.

Fyrstikken tells people they are drafted like they did with Facebook at the beginning. He says Facebook was started by forced labor and V2K controlled slaves, just like he creates with his gang for steem and crypto. "Get to work bitch" he tells people once circumvented and intimidated.

If you are an agent Investigating them, guess what? Better start packing. You are circumvented. They are high tech, over funded and well connected.
