Citizen journalism concept

×Citizen journalism is a concept based on the active participation of people who are not professional journalists in the process of gathering, selecting, analyzing, and broadcasting news and information. It is conducted by people who disseminate information using websites, blogs, and social media. Citizen journalism can be a simple reporting of facts and news that is largely ignored by large media companies. It is different from professional journalism and traditional reporting. Citizen journalism has expanded its worldwide influence despite continuing concerns over whether citizen journalists are as reliable as trained professionals.
