Abstract

The article reports on an audiobased citizen journalism service for a tribal community in Chhattisgarh, India. Called CGNet Swara, it allows residents to produce and share audio news reports by calling a number on any fixed or cell phone. This service is believed to be the first source of news in the state, which is claimed as a primarily poor, rural area in central India.
