ULBRICHT, Melissa I report for MobileActive.org, a global network of people using mobile tech for social change. Our office is based in New York but I’ll be in the area this weekend.

I’m also the project manager for the Mobile Media Toolkit, a free, multi-language web resource that helps people use mobile phones for better journalism, i.e., for filming and live-streaming at protests. I contribute to SaferMobile.org, a resource that helps people stay more safe when using phones to cover protest, conflict, or report from repressive countries.

Here’s a piece I did recently on strategic citizen journalism in Syria and beyond: http://www.mobilemediatoolkit.org/activist-media-frontlines-mobile-strategic-and-much-more-just-being-right-place-right-time

And here’s our SaferMobile guide on covering peaceful protests on a mobile: https://safermobile.org/resource/mobile-tactics-for-participants-in-peaceful-assemblies/
