Citizen Journalism No Longer Just an Interesting Idea

July 7, 2007

Categories: New Media Theory  Tags: citizen-journalism
Written by Jennifer Elrod @ 6:08 am

Citizen journalism has proved it is viable and deserves to be taken seriously. Not that issues of trust and accountability have disappeared, but there is every reason to keep experimenting. Writes Rory O’Connor in OhourNews:

In the wake of such recent citizen-mediated news events as the Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the London train bombings, Senator George Allen’s political suicide, the Virginia Tech massacre, et al, the real question is why anyone would still wonder about the possibility, much less the efficacy, of so-called ‘citizen journalism.’
