WITNESS’ The Hub: Video In Support of Human Rights

August 10th, 2010 by Andy in Human Rights (Torture & 'The War on Terror') , Video

This is a wonderful initiative from the human rights organization WITNESS. The Hub is a new website for anyone, anywhere in the world to upload, view, share, discuss and take action on human-rights related media. Part curated, part grassroots-driven, it brings under-reported and urgent human rights issues to a broad audience to inspire and catalyze action.

    Hi Andy- thanks for the mention of WITNESS and the Hub. We have actually just announced a new direction for us with respect to engaging with human rights video online on our blog here: http://blog.witness.org/2010/08/update-on-the-hub-and-witness-new-online-strategy/
    The Hub remains online and accessible but is no longer going to accept new registered users and content. Instead we’re going to go where people already are (platforms like YouTube, Blip.tv, Vimeo, Facebook, etc.) and encourage ethical standards for uploaders of human rights video, consideration for the safety and security for those who appear in video/ film it/ upload it and supporting greater room for appropriate contextualization for human rights video.

    Thanks!
