The document summarizes how photography and new media have enabled positive social change through citizen documentation of protests and revolutions. It discusses how camera phones and social media have democratized image production, allowing everyday people to capture and share events in real-time on a global scale. This new citizen journalism challenges official narratives and gives voice to marginalized groups. The rise of camera phones and platforms like Facebook and Flickr have made documenting dissent ubiquitous, helping communicate grassroots perspectives and hold governments accountable.
