Do YOU want to be a Citizen Reporter?

If you have an interest in journalism why not join the Citizen’s Eye team and become one of the 2,012 Citizen Reporters recruited across Leicester & Leicestershire to capture all the community news by 2012!

The Citizen Reporters, who volunteer their time to report on local events and identify community news stories use the Kona Blue Coffees shop in Highcross.

The Citizens’ Eye Community News Agency website has been established to enable community people in Leicester and Leicestershire to become ‘Citizen Reporters’ and provide a news gathering platform for current and relevant news to the third sector.

Citizens Eye aims to:

• Provide a professional media outlet for community groups to promote their events and share best practice amongst their peers.
• Present the stories and photographs received in a professional and unbiased way, and to accurately represent all communities.
• In our portrayal of the people and locations reported, we shall strive to dispel much of the ignorance that erodes community cohesion.
