About 10 years ago, Lisa and I gave a lecture at the Center for Communications entirled How To Start Your Own TV Channel.

There were a couple of hundred people in the audience, and when we were done, a few of them came up to talk to us.

One of them was an incredilby dynamic woman with red hair who had more energy than a tornado.

Her name was Sandi Bachom and she was one of the first true Citizen Journalists.

On her own, as a freelancer, she has covered some of the most important stories today.

She is utterly fearless. 

She emails me and tells me also that she first picked up the video craft with CurrentTV, my child. such a small world.
