Quoted in Foreign Policy on Ushahidi

Juliana Rotich and my recent Berkman Center Kenya paper was quoted in the current issue of Foreign Policy.

Money quote:

With Ushahidi, information is available within minutes, and Okolloh says censorship isn't a problem because governments "are more interested in what's in newspapers than what's online." Kenya was the first testing ground, and now Ushahidi is jumping into other conflict countries as well. As of November, the group was already receiving an average of four reports a day from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This growing breadth could make Ushahidi something like the Wikipedia of conflicts, wrote Harvard researchers Joshua Goldstein and Juliana Rotich in a recent paper. "They are tools that allow cooperation on a massive scale." Ushahidi hopes to become a history worth contributing to.
