But aid agencies are not as automatically valuable to journalists as they once were. So they have adapted to fight their corner. They have turned to UGC sites to host their own footage, photos and blogs  - as if they, the aid workers, were citizen journalists. Type in Oxfam, Cafod or Red Cross into YouTube, MySpace or Facebook and a host of results will come up. Or look at AOL blogs; you'll find a series from Sri Lanka by Anjali Kwatra who is an Asia specialist in the Christian Aid press office.  </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E7A0E4E9-58D1-4EAA-8C11-AF1EFB4960CE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
