Citizen journalism is a growing movement in Nepal. Although half of the nation lives below the poverty line, without access to clean drinking water, health care and education, there has been a significant rise in level of political consciousness among the people. This is largely due to the ten year long Maoist insurgency and emerging ethnic tensions which are both fostering the growth of citizen powered media.

Even in the Philippines, there is a need of citizen journalism especially for those people who are debased in terms of freedom of speech by the current government administration whose favor leans toward other religious group who has mythical bloc voting power.
