6. Arthur C Clarke mentioned about "citizen
journalism" during Tsunami in 2004.
The best ones were written by people who
were not mainstream journalists but were
enterprising individuals who were present in
situation and shared notes on the web. The
best photographs were similarly obtained.
Everyone with access to a computer and the
internet is, in effect, a journalist.
