7 Things You Should Know About Citizen Journalism  
URL:http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7031.pdf
Category:Studies in Human Society  Communication and media 

Citizen journalism refers to a wide range of activities in which everyday people contribute information or commentary about news events.

Citizen journalism epitomizes the belief that the experiences of people personally involved with an issue present a different - and often more complete - picture of events than can be derived from the perspective of an outsider. Citizen journalism encompasses content ranging from user-submitted reviews on a Web site about movies to wiki-based news. It forces contributors to think objectively, asking probing questions and working to understand the context - the kinds of activities that lead to deeper learning.
