Help Menna Alaa report back on ground in Egypt
"News reporting is a cycle: No matter how much you work at sending a message, it's only successful if it's received"
Menna Alaa is a Cairo based freelance journalist and student who has been covering events in Egypt as they escalated. Menna has made sure that she takes the risks in Egyptian streets in order to make sure that the voices of protesters are heard whether through videos or photos.
Over the escalating events, Menna risked her life in order to show how events unfolded while bearing in mind that the audience need to see truth as it really is. Now the Egyptian political sphere is being reshaped and the need for independent, honest, and objective journalism is now a must.
The only problem now is that Menna was assaulted by a group of angry protesters last July while covering their protest and had her camera smashed and therefore lost all her equipment. ( Full Testimony of what happened here on prominent Egyptian blogger Zeinobia's blog here: http://egyptianchronicles.blogspot.com/2013/07/menna-alaa-how-i-was-attacked-by-angry.html )
As an aspiring journalist and journalism student, Menna would appreciate it if you would help her buy new equipment so she reports back on ground as soon as possible.
