[ecrea] Media and the Riots

/Media and the Riots - A Call For Action/ is the first report to examine 
the relationship between mainstream media and communities affected by 
the "riots" in English cities a year ago. It also looks at the role of 
social media and citizen journalism.

The comprehensive report, written by University of Leicester social 
scientist Dr Leah Bassel, comes from a conference in the UK held last 
November which was unique because it brought young people and community 
members living in riot affected areas face to face with media 
representatives including journalists.

/Media and the Riots - A Call For Action/ contains conclusions and 
recommendations that pave the way for much better future news reporting. 
Featuring a foreword by top media commentator Roy Greenslade, the report 
has taken months of work to produce and is published by the Citizen 
Journalism Educational Trust and The-Latest.Com.
