We, at AHA MEDIA are lucky to help give coverage of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES ). As we move towards the 2010 Winter Olympics, there are many different media groups reporting on our area. such as “Operation Phoenix”

As we are local DTES residents and citizen journalists, we are able to provide OUR unique perspective to the situations and issues concerning us and work with others who want to hear what we have to say 🙂

Below is a photo of Stephen Hui, Technology and Online Editor of the Georgia Straight publication, J-Hock   DTES outreach  and April Smith  of AHA MEDIA hearing what each other has to say about Technology, Citizen Journalism and the Vancouver Downtown Eastside. 🙂
