The Guardian have launched a mobile app — Guardian Witness — encouraging readers to become citizen journalists and submit material directly to their York Way HQ.
The app solicits contributions for numerous stream of content, including one called “The cuts get personal” in which readers submit images showing the effects of austerity:
“How has your life been affected by the UK government cuts? Has a local public service like a library or a sports facility closed?”
The response? Complaints about a lack of exotic holidays and wiring plugs yourself because you “can’t afford an electrician” to do it for you:
It is, indeed, Grim Up North London.
