Hello to all citizen journalists,
This is Armen Hareyan writing from HULIQ.com and this is my first post in HULIQ blog.
I'd like build a dialogue with all those who are writing, co-operation, co-creating.
We created HULIQ to be a meeting place for all the citizen and public journalists who take pride in covering local and international news. My friend Helge Keitel from Finland suggested the creation of this blog, in addition to HULIQ, to be an information center and a uniting force for public journalists.
Large news and media organizations may not be able to cover the news in details on a local level, but volunteer public and citizen journalists can because of the fact that they may even witness what is happening. Our sole driving goal is to inform the public. Please know every peace of news is important, whether it's an international breaking news or a local community school event, or a new research breakthrough. It could be that your high school football team won a city championship. This is important for the people of your city or your school as well.
I will be very glad for all of your comments and insights. Please keep on writing and publishing great local and international news, as well as covering topics of particular interest in the areas of art, science, sports, religion, technology, health and so on"¦
Let's make HULIQ a big thing together.

#1 Thank you for this medium of expression
I'm just about getting the thoughts and feelings on, be right back with you guys
announcing the Word from the world...
#2 Well done!
The mainstream media is already flowing downstream with the acceptance of blogging as an essential medium of participatory journalism.
Huliq is on the right track.
Well done!
One God, one faith.
#3 The blog is a great idea for dialogue
Armen Hareyan, I think your blog is a great idea. We, the citizen journalists are dispersed around the world and it’s good to get news, advice from the headquarters and chief editor.
With a dialogue, we can together develop the content and how to cover local and international news, and how to maintain a motivated writers network.
I think the concept of citizen journalism is great, and the way we work together, that’s a form of co-creation and open global innovation.
Armen, I’d like to suggest one new idea. Could Huliq open and maintain a photo gallery, with photos about the writers (citizen journalists), and another gallery could be a shared pool of photos, that we can use in our news reports?
Huliq is a great platform, but when most or at least some of us writers aren’t professional journalists, it’s good to get advice, ideas and guidance. The dialogue with all the writers and readers as well, will help to improve and to adapt to the changing needs of citizen journalism.
Let’s make Huliq to a great Global News source together.
I hope the blog will guide us and attract more commentators.
Have a great day -- writing and reading Huliq!
