  • Do We Need a Dedicated Repository for Human Rights Media? A dedicated online video-sharing site or database could show the breadth and scale of human rights violations worldwide, and enable coordinated action. Sam Gregory January 30, 2015
  • Kony 2012: Juggling Advocacy, Audience and Agency When Using #Video4Change "Kony 2012" is now the most rapidly disseminated human rights video ever. In six days it reached an aggregate 100 million views – faster than other pop culture phenomena like Susan Boyle (9 days), Rebecca Black (45 days) and ‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ (445 days). Sam Gregory March 17, 2012
  • Video Advocacy Example: ‘Yo Me Declaro’ Campaign for Human Rights Defenders In the human rights world we often talk about HRDs or 'human rights defenders' - but this is more than just an an acronym or a piece of jargon. Human rights defenders of every type play a key role in protecting, promoting and upholding the human rights of all of us. And they're not just the people who work in NGOs like WITNESS or our partners. Sam Gregory July 28, 2011
