Citizen Journalism and Everyday Life: A Case Study of Germany’s myHeimat.deAxel Bruns
Paper presented at Future of Journalism conference, Cardiff, 9-10 Sep. 2009.
Abstract:
Much recent research into citizen journalism has focussed on its role in political debate and deliberation, especially in the context of recent general elections in the United States and elsewhere. Such research examines important questions about citizen participation in democratic processes – however, it perhaps places undue focus on only one area of journalistic coverage, and presents a challenge which only a small number of citizen journalism projects can realistically hope to meet.
A greater opportunity for broad-based citizen involvement in journalistic activities may lie outside of politics, in the coverage of everyday community life. A leading exponent of this approach is the German-based citizen journalism Website myHeimat.de, which provides a nationwide platform for participants to contribute reports about events in their community. myHeimat takes a hyperlocal approach but also allows for content aggregation on specific topics across multiple local communities; Hannover-based newspaper publishing house Madsack has recently acquired a stake in the project.
myHeimat has been particularly successful in a number of rural and regional areas where strong offline community ties already exist; in several of its most active regions, myHeimat and its commercial partners now also produce monthly print magazines republishing the best of the user-generated content by local contributors, which are distributed to households free of charge or included as inserts in local newspapers. Additionally, the myHeimat publishing platform has also been utilised as the basis for a new ‘participatory newspaper’ project, independently of the myHeimat Website: since mid-September 2008, the Gießener Zeitung has been published as both a twice-weekly newspaper and a continuously updated news site which draws on both staff and citizen journalist contributors.
Drawing on extensive interviews with myHeimat CEO Martin Huber and Madsack newspaper editors Peter Taubald and Clemens Wlokas during October 2008, this paper analyses the myHeimat project and examines its applicability beyond rural and regional areas in Germany; it investigates the question of what role citizen journalism may play beyond the political realm.

WikiLeaks & Co.: Chancen und Risiken - Guido Strack über Whistleblowerspieli
Der Vortrag stellt Whistleblowing als Frühwarnsystem zur Aufdeckung von Missständen vor und beleuchtet die damit im Zusammenhang stehenden Chancen und Risiken. Dabei ist anonymes Whistleblowing an WikiLeaks & Co. oder an die Medien nur eine von verschiedenen Formen von Whistleblowing. Andere Formen werden anhand von Beispielen erläutert. Zugleich wird die Rechtslage und die Bedeutung von Whistleblowing für eine Belebung der Demokratie aufgezeigt. Hier geht es um viele spannende Fragen wie z.B.: Welche Geheimnisse verdienen Schutz? Wann ist Verrat legitime Zivilcourage? Braucht es eine neue Whistleblowing-Kultur? All dies soll im Anschluss an den Vortrag mit dem Publikum diskutiert werden.
"Datenjournalismus ganz praktisch - Wie Journalisten Daten finden und sicher ...spieli
Gute Geschichten kommen an Daten nicht vorbei. Oft belegen die Zahlen, was alle vermuten. Und erst durch Statistiken wird klar, dass der Protagonist kein Einzelfall ist.
Aber wie können Journalisten belastbare Daten für ihre Recherchen finden? Wie weit trägt dabei das Internet, wo sind andere Wege nötig? Und welche Techniken helfen dabei, die Zahlen schnell und sicher auszuwerten?
Datenquellen und Techniken stehen im Fokus der Session. Damit soll deutlich werden, dass Datenjournalismus in zwei Richtungen funktioniert – als Fundament für laufende Recherchen und als Fundgrube für neue Ideen und Ansätze.

28. S.B. Johnson: Five things...
...all sane people agree on about blogs and
mainstream journalism (so can we stop talking
about them now?) - August 1, 2006
29. S.B. Johnson: Five things...
1. Mainstream, top-down, professional journalism
will continue to play a vital role in covering news
events, and in shaping our interpretation of those
events, as it should.
30. S.B. Johnson: Five things...
2. Bloggers will grow increasingly adept at
covering certain kinds of news events, but not all.
They will play an increasingly important role in
the interpretation of all kinds of news.
31. S.B. Johnson: Five things...
3. The majority of bloggers won't be concerned
with traditional news at all.
32. S.B. Johnson: Five things...
4. Professional, edited journalism will have a
much higher signal-to-noise ratio than blogging;
examples of sloppy, offensive, factually incorrect,
or tedious writing will be abundant in the
blogosphere. But diamonds in that rough will be
abundant as well.
33. S.B. Johnson: Five things...
5. Blogs -- like all modes of contemporary media
-- are not historically unique; they draw upon and
resemble a number of past traditions and forms,
depending on their focus.
34. S.B. Johnson: Five things...
So here's my proposal:
if you're writing an article or a blog post about
this issue, and your argument revolves around
one or more of these points -- and doesn't add
anything else of substance -- STOP WRITING.
Pick a new topic. Move on. There's nothing to
see here.
