Write for Himachal , become a grassroot journalist !

Him Vani or HimVani.com is an effort to be a think-tank for Himachal by
the means of grassroots journalism.

What is grassroots journalism?

It is an effort on the lines of citizen journalism, where citizens
become reporters. Citizens send in stories. But we love to call it
grassroots journalism as we intend not to cover hardcore news. We leave
that to the mainstream media. We love to call our effort as grassroots
journalism because our initiative heavily has a social aspect, where the
journalists just don’t report, but come up with solutions. That however
does not mean, we do not cover mainstream news. We do, if we find if
it’s being reported for the first time. The idea is not to just throw
stats at the reader, but analyse what’s happening. For example…
everybody loves to talk about Himachal as Number one state in education.
Everyone loves to throw stats at the reader about the high literacy.
However, we want to tell the reader, what exactly is being done to
encourage education.

HimVani on their forums.

with warm regards
