AgoraVox is a French language website of news powered by volunteers and non-professional writers, created by Carlo Revelli and Joël de Rosnay in March 2005, offering items by single or multiple writers.

AgoraVox was one of the first citizen journalism websites in France, and is similar to the community sites L'Echo du Village (1998) and Indymedia (1999). Many more or less participatory sites have emerged since, such as Rue 89, Le Post, Mediapart and Atlantico. It can be compared to the Korean site OhmyNews. According to the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the Oxford University, "AgoraVox is one of the most prominent European examples of a citizen journalism site".^[1]

As of April 2009, nearly 40,000 volunteers were enrolled as editors of the French version. They were 70,000 in April 2011.^{[citation needed]} At that time, the site had over 1900 volunteer moderators.^{[citation needed]} An Italian version of the site was launched at the end of 2008. Many variations have also emerged: AgoraVox TV, NaturaVox, EducaVox, CareVox, Orser and SportVox .

According to Google Trends, the site agoravox.fr has on average 50,000 daily unique visitors^[2] and agoravox.tv has 15,000 unique visitors.^[3]
