The author discusses the convergence of community and journalism to tell important stories in the digital age. She cites an act of citizen journalism by Los Angeles, California resident George Holliday, who recorded how police officers brutally beat African American Rodney King using a hand-held video camera. She mentions her effort to explore how digital storytelling may instigate political mediation. She talks about her online documentary "Highrise: Out My Window" about residents of high-rise buildings.
