Whether or not you call it "citizen journalism," here's one more act of someone observing, recording and disseminating information -- and having an impact. The Contra Costa Times (registration required) reports "A group of teenage boys beat an instructional aide at De Anza High School after he tried to stop a fight ... . The attack, captured on a camera phone by an unknown party, circulated via e-mail among parents and staff Friday ...."
It was at another school in the same school district, West Contra Costa Unified, where last month someone videotaped an attack in the Hercules Middle/High School bathroom and posted it on putfile.com. (As an education reporter, I covered this school district for the Contra Costa Times from 1987 to 1991.)
The images in the latest incident also were video, according to a KCBS story.
