YouTube is calling all citizen reporters

tibetprotestcanberra.gif YouTube has announced the launch of the Reporter channel type.

Reporter channels are just like other YouTube channel types –- such as Comedian, Guru and Musician -- but are specifically intended for citizens and professional reporters dedicated to informing others about the news and events in their local communities and around the world.

-- People who tote around their cameras offering "on-the-scene" coverage of local news and events

-- Students producing their own weekly newscasts

-- Active community members who conduct interviews with local leaders

-- Engaged citizens who love providing commentary and analysis on important issues affecting the world at large

-- Professional journalists using YouTube as an additional outlet for their work
