Hi Hareega - I'm Glenna, another blogger (www.ugandascarlettlion.blogspot.com) and a journalist proper. I found out about your blog from Amira and Rising Voices/Global Voices. I'd love to ask you a few questions for a story I'm working on about citizen media. I sent an email to the address listed on this blog, but I know those are often secondary addresses. So, if you get this comment before the email, please drop me a line at glennagordon at gmail dot com. Thanks! GG
