Cplash in Press - I
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009The first coverage that cplash.com - the citizen journalism website had in the mainstream media was when it found mention in a Livemint Article ‘Citizen Journalism finds a new platform : the Web” by Samanth Subramanian.
“ Other journalists have written about hospital wards infested with an antibiotic-resistant bacterium, about the displacement of small shops by the ongoing Metro rail project, and about waste segregation. These quotidian topics have not traditionally been the preserve of Indian citizen journalism ventures. Websites such as Merinews and Cplash function largely as forums for reader-written opinions on bigger news stories that have already been reported elsewhere.”
Today cplash.com found mention in the National Newspaper of Abu Dhabi , UAE when a splash by our cplasher singhupendra25 was quoted in the article Movie-star politicians seek to shed ‘glamour puppet’ image .
“No wonder that blog writers are critical about this “impurity” in politics and accuse political parties of using them to achieve narrow gains. “It is a bitter truth that political parties which were selling their ideology to the voters and their promises of better life have nothing more to offer and they need cricket and film stars to sell their so-called ideologies and win them votes by hook or crook,” says a post on Cplash.”
