8. Tools of Citizen Journalism
Blogging: An easy way to post text. Last post
written is first read, so encourages frequent writing.
Photo sharing: Photobucket, Flickr, Picassa. The
descendant of the vacation slide show.
Social Networking: MySpace, Facebook, etc. The
big cocktail party in the sky.
Virtual reality: Create an entire new world online.
Second Life, Sony World.
Open Source Journalism: Journalists mediate
between the writer and the reader. “You write it, we
print it” (after we’ve looked at it).

14. Benefits of Citizen Journalism
Increased speed and access to information
Traditional media is limited by access to resources and
time to communicate events to the public.
Citizen Journalism greatly increases the range of
sources for events and the speed with which they can
be communicated.
For instance, coverage of 2009 Iranian protesters by
participants and observers where traditional media was
prohibited in Iran.
15. Benefits of Citizen Journalism
Personal feedback
It extends 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.
(Educause Learning Initiative (2007))
For example, Salam Pax’s chronicles of the Iraq War
16. Benefits of Citizen Journalism
Improved trust and interaction with local media
Research has shown that traditional news outlets
believe that participation by readers improves the
quality of the news, and such participation tends to
increase the trust that the community has in the news
and media.
For example, CNN’s I Report
17. Drawbacks of Citizen Journalism
Reduced Quality of Content
Amidst the diverse array of information and sources,
discerning between important and trivial content
becomes costly and time consuming.
18. Drawbacks of Citizen Journalism
Reduced Reliability
Much of the information gathered from citizen
journalists may be false or partially inaccurate.
While conscientious professional journalists are careful
to separate supportable evidence from opinion or
speculation, many citizen journalists have a weaker
sense of what constitutes a reliable story.
If the media relies too heavily upon citizen journalists
for information, consumers may begin to distrust the
media.
19. Conclusion
Citizen journalism has become a powerful tool to
unite the media and the public to produce quick,
reliable, and detailed stories, which neither group
could accomplish alone.
This collaboration has begun to revolutionize the way
in which we obtain information about current events.
20. Conclusion
Nevertheless, the rise of citizen journalism poses
significant risks that could reduce the quality and
reliability of information distributed to the public.
As a result, citizen journalism will likely continue to
influence and play a role in traditional media yet
never fully replace it.
