She mentions on her page above the online community Global Voices Online. Which prompted me to look further into it.
Global Voices Online is a community of over 500 bloggers and translators all around the world.
Their collaborations bring you reports from blogs and citizen media, with emphasis on human rights and voices that are not ordinarily heard in international, mainstream media.
The group has a strong focus on connectivity all around the world - something innovations in the internet and blogging are helping to increase.

Global Voices, which also has a dedicated blog, is a fantastic example of how information and media gathered and presented by a citizen journalist can have a positive influence on world-scale issues such as politics and culture.
The group has a number of different projects, two of which include -
Global Voices Advocacy - campaigning for free speech online.
Rising Voices - empowering minority groups to have a voice online and educating them on how to use technology. They are also working to integrate the technology in the less fortunate communities.
