members of the public playing an active role in the process of collecting,
reporting, analyzing and dissemination news and information.
The ideas behind citizen journalism is that people without professional journalism training can use the tools of modern technology and the global distribution of the internet to create, augment or fact check media on their own or in collaboration with others.

Citizen journalists may also be
activists within the communities they write about.
Moveover the pace at which citizen
journalist spread news or information is faster and quicker than that of a
trained professional journalist because of their use of communication
technology and the multiply people that have access to it.
There are some controversies over the term citizen journalism, because many professional journalist believe that only a trained journalist can understand the rigors and ethics involved in reporting the news.

In conclusion some citizen journalist
tends to invest more money to expand their field of work which leads to
dictationship to the editors which makes the news or information weak.

ReplyDeleteLike the rest of your colleagues you post opinions from others without attribution. The time you spent copying could have been used to write your own ideas and opinion on the topic. What do you personally think about whether citizens journalists pose a threat or a challenge to professional journalists? What do you mean by 'dictationship'? And your point about citizen journalists investing money in their field is interesting except that professional journalists tend to work for organizations that are rich to invest vast amounts of money to survival the rapid and persistent development in news gathering and dissemination technology.
