Kibera News Network is a citizen video journalism project that is part of the Map Kibera Trust (www.mapkibera.org). KNN reporters cover news and stories happening in Kibera, from their perspective, using small handheld video cameras - showing the *real* Kibera - not what you see on the mainstream news channels! They shoot, edit, and upload in the computer lab and cyber. They also post the videos to www.VoiceofKibera.org, an interactive local news site that maps reports on Kibera from local sources - including SMS. This is the real citizen journalism.

About KiberaNewsNetwork
KiberaNewsNetwork is a citizen video journalism project run by the Map Kibera Trust, based in Kibera, Nairobi. Its reporters shoot and edit short field reports with handheld cameras, covering local news, street interviews, and community issues from a resident perspective. Uploads are infrequent, with about two videos in the past year, and typical videos run one to five minutes.
The audience appears to be mostly Kenyan residents, with estimated viewers aged 25 to 34 and an even gender split. These are estimates from channel data, not measured demographics. The channel reports a median of 28 views per video and about 2,900 subscribers, so it suits hyperlocal awareness work rather than broad reach.
At a rate of $150 to $250 per video, the channel's cost per thousand views is far above the $10 to $30 CPM typical for paid ads, but its audience is narrow. Organizations focused on Kibera or Kenyan civic issues should consider it.
