The folks at the Tactical Technology Collective are planning to release soon a “Citizen Journalism Toolkit” that
will provide accessible and effective training materials on selected free software tools and web applications with a focus on giving people what they need to know in order to create and distribute content. The materials will cover print publishing, using images, online publishing and audio.
