Julien Pain used to the head of Internet freedom desk at Reporters Without Borders…He just started an interesting website:
 
The Observers is a France 24 site that aims to:
• Enrich our coverage of international current affairs with eyewitness accounts from ‘observers’- that’s to say those people who are at the heart of events. Videos, texts, photos- none of the content is produced by professional journalists- but everything is selected, verified, translated and explained by our team.
• Give you the opportunity to discuss current affairs with ‘observers’ chosen by France 24, or with ‘friends’, sorted according to their expertise and interests.
What’s an ‘  observer ’ ?
The observers are valued contacts of France 24. They’re not part of our editorial team, but they’re willing to be contacted by the site’s users. We don’t necessarily share their opinions. They could be young, old, doctors or miners, Chinese or Brazilian. These people make up ‘your eyes across the globe’.
