Helpful video report on Somalia from citizen journalists featured on Current TV's Current Conflict series. Haven't had time to compare this 18 minute piece to other reports, but its methodology is sound and reasonable. A transcript would be helpful, as well as more meta-data about the authors, story date, etc. Still, it's great to see Current TV evolve beyond MTV-style reporting, to address important issues in ways that make them relevant to young adults. Keep it up!
