Elaborate. Is it not simply the facts? If you write for a publication that reaches millions of people and I wish to talk to you about an exciting idea I have but not many people have heard about, who holds the power?

I tend to think that revolutions are a bad idea. One exception comes to mind, but that's ancient history. Regardless, it failed.

But the context of this post is "revolution". And really, what kind of revolutionary sits and moans about the powers that be? You want to revolt? Then revolt already and stop talking about "power of journalism".

I think there are examples of this happening and every time I witness it, I'm encouraged.
    Have your crew film the same event and put it up on youtube.
-Here, here! I love it when traditional media is chasing citizen journalism. This is the wave of the future imo. Crowd sourced media supplemented by some long form journalism (i hope) is where we are headed.

But I agree, what type of revolutionary complains that the traditional media sources won't give them equal footing?
