Cherno Journo's Website [www.chernojourno.com]

Cherno Journo began his life as many after the incident did, washed up on the shore of Chernarus with no idea what had occurred. In his need to comprehend the situation he was in Cherno Journo began speaking to and interviewing other Survivors. Having previously worked as a writer and studied a journalism degree like many people he fell back onto the skills he knew to process and understand the events around him. He started by recording these events as an oral history but felt that the stories should be shared with others in order for us all to better understand the world of DayZ.

Using a small found digital camera and recharging through a secret generator Cherno Journo started to record the interviews with players. These recordings would be edited on a laptop and shared with other survivors through USB sticks and an intricate network of messengers who would copy and share the stories. These USB sticks and the recording have formed part of CFP.TV, a place where Survivors can make copies onto their own USB sticks of the Cherno Journo interviews.

Huddled over a campfire in the rain the Cherno Journo interviews gave hope to many of the Survivors and Bandits out there. They could relate to the stories and felt the need to share their own. Soon Cherno Journo was finding notes left on bulletin boards, scraps of journals left behind and many of the Survivors out there felt the need to make contact and share their own story. The Cherno Journo interviews grew in popularity and began to inspire other Survivors to change to alter their own ethics within DayZ.

This popularity led to the founding of the CFP to allow other like-minded individuals and groups the opportunity to help Cherno Journo in capturing and sharing the stories. For more on how to become a friend of the CFP see www.chernojourno.com
