YouTube Human Rights Channel and Witness.org Propaganda
YouTube has partnered with Witness and Storyful to launch a dedicated human rights channel featuring curated citizen video. Witness.org, co-founded by musician Peter Gabriel, is described as a well-funded non-profit that provides professional video production for advocacy campaigns. The high production quality of the videos is contrasted with "raw" footage, suggesting the channel serves as a sophisticated public relations arm for Western diplomatic interests.
