To know what citizen journalism is, most of us would like to search from Google. In Wikipedia, citizen journalism can be defined as a concept of members of the public “playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing and disseminating news and information."
Personally, I believe citizen journalism is a pretty broad area, which can be connected with a specific form of citizen media. That means netizens can effectively report any types of information through the web including text, photographs, audio and video.
In fact, the internet provides a large impact on citizen journalism. No matter how positive or negative, it just comes with a tremendous power. With this power, citizen journalism has gradually become useful instead of the traditional journalism. Users can post and comment whatever they want on different sites without any limitation. However, citizen journalism still has controversially caused some of problems such as ethic and privacy etc.That’s my understanding of citizen journalism, or maybe I’m wrong, because I’m not a big big big fan of citizen journalism:)
In this broader context, blogging is a good tool for us to discover more information about citizen journalism. As for the rights, citizen journalism is not a useless media that professional journalists could look down on. Anyone who lives in this world has the right to be a citizen journalist.
Citizen journalism, sounds easy, hard to define! THAT’S NEWSWORTHY! HAHAHA!!!
