Grassroots Journalism

Eesha Williams is a freelance journalist and author of the book Grassroots Journalism. He believes that a lot of reporting is disconnected from the lives of everyday people and tilted toward the powerful in government and business. He says grassroots journalism is objective and includes all sides of a story, but also inspires readers to get involved and take action.

Eesha was an award-winning reporter for the Brattleboro Reformer until May of last year. He was fired for what the paper called a breach of journalistic ethics; he believes he was fired for trying to organize a union.
