Costa Rica: Different Perspectives on Reporting · Global Voices
Juliana Rincón Parra

Cristian Cambronero of Fusil de Chispas [es] writes about the recent Juan Luis Guerra concert in San José, Costa Rica, where most of the concert attendees were herded into a muddy field.  He writes that citizen media allows for the documentation of real experiences of events through the use of video and images, which shows different perspectives than the most of the media that were reporting from comfortable booths away from the mud and crowd.
