Filmmaker Deborah Scranton talks about and shows clips from her documentary The War Tapes in this video from TED. She put video cameras in the hands of Charlie Company, a unit of the National Guard, for one year in Iraq. The soldiers footage and diaries tell a very personal story of the war in Iraq.

Hi David,
Just a quick note to tell you how much I appreciate your work.
We all are benefiting from your efforts on collecting and sharing what’s new in the field of photojournalism. I’m so glad to see real examples that prove that a democratic journalism is becoming a reality, with no chance to move back to the 20th century big-media-controlled model.
The participation and contribution of citizen journalists (soldiers in this case), proves that the “a person-like-me” phenomenon is a trustful source of information. Also, “conversation” not the message is what is shaping the new journalism. It is very exciting.
So thank you a lot.
