A huge number of video sharing sites have been emerged from the last 2 years like youtube, google video, myspace video and many others. They have well succeeded in making online communities where people can share videos of their interest to their friends. Here people submit their own video, sometimes their surrounding events and also videos of some special occasions to share with other people. People also submit funny videos, videos of birthday parties, dance parties, clips of sports events, movie songs and promos etc. Many business firms are also using such sites to boost their website traffic or to make people aware of their products and services.

In this article we will discuss a new approach of using such video sharing sites. Every day there are various events occurred in our daily life and we usually make them unnoticed but they demands a special attention. Some of them are like traffic violation, child labor, poor education system, early age marriages, school buses overcrowded with the kids and lot more. We must make these videos publish on the web so that people become aware of such incidents and can take an action to restrict such social iniquities. It is given a term – citizen journalism. It is also known as public or participatory journalism. In this the citizens play an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing and disseminating news and information

In a developing country like India, a citizen journalism website is needed that can encourage people to submit such videos where one can submit stories and their related video from India’s popular cities to small towns. People should take participate in such social activities apart from their busy schedules. This will not only help the system to improve but also our life too. Now more and more people are using internet everyday in India so it is not a very tough project. It just requires an initiation. I have seen very few of the sites making such efforts. So let join hands in hands and participate in such social activities to make our nation crime free.
