So, what's going on in the world of alternative broadcast journalism? On YouTube and on the net in general, journalists are using this democratic medium to do their own reporting on subjects that are not always highlighted in mainstream media with their own slant and style. One example of an alternative wired journalist is Lori Harfenist, also known as the host of the "The Resident" a very popular online news show dedicated to "cleaning up today's dirty media". Harfenist produces, hosts, and edits “The Resident” herself and even calls for story ideas from her audience.Visit The Resident and review some of her work, especially the street archive (where Harfenist got her start). What do you like about how she approaches and creates the news? What makes her show so appealing to so many people?
