VozMob or Mobile Voices/Voces Móviles (est. 2010) is an open-source "mobile media project that supports immigrant and low wage workers in the Los Angeles area in the documentation of their own stories and communities."[1] It is "specifically aimed at those on the dark side of the digital divide."[2] It enables people with cellphone access to send content to an internet site, and to communicate to a larger audience.
It began as a participatory design project of the Institute of Popular Education of Southern California and the University of Southern California.[3] Other affiliates include the Los Angeles Community Action Network.[4]
Story contributors record video, photos and audio content, and then "send their dispatches by phone to an email address, which directly uploads the messages to Vozmob's blog."[3] The "VozMob content management system is a customized version of Drupal."[4]
