CitizeNews, a new venue for video journalists to share their work with the community (and world), has launched this week. Conceived and launched by Michael Rosenblum and Ken Krushel after meeting in Kazakhstan over a year ago. CitizeNews' aim is to "aggregate the work of talented video journalists of great diversity and distinction whose work is characterized by a powerful individual vision.
