Citizen journalism allows ordinary people to act as reporters by sharing news, opinions, and stories online using technologies like blogs, websites, social media, and smartphones. The document discusses how individuals are now able to report on local events and share personal experiences with wide audiences through platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and news organization websites. While citizen journalism gives more people a voice, some argue it may be less reliable than traditional media due to possible mistakes, unverified facts, or intentionally fake stories.

Citizen Journalism Arpita has just updated her news blog.

The winners of a local election in Mumbai have just been announced, and she has listed their names
on her blog. On the website of a local newspaper, Liat has recently posted a “digital story,” a series
of photos and descriptions of a whale rescue. And hundreds of people in the Dominican Republic are
tweeting on their cell phones to describe a hurricane that is threatening the country.

What do these stories have in common? Technology is giving people the chance to be news
reporters. More than ever before, technology is allowing everyone to share opinions, ideas, stories,
photos, and videos from anywhere in the world. If there is breaking news, you can be sure that
someone is reporting it.

GroundReport, CNN’s iReport, and Blufftontoday.com are just a few of the websites where “citizen
journalists” can post their articles, photos, or videos. More and more people are making Youtube
channels, Instagram, or Snapchat profiles that get more than one million views!

They’re sharing their personal thoughts and news reports with the world on these websites. And the
increased prevalence of cell phones and cameras has made it even easier for people to share
content.

Many media organizations such as CNN now have entire sections of these news stories on their
websites. News editors used to decide what was news. Now you decide.

There has been some criticism of citizen journalism, however. For example, there are often mistakes
in these stories, including incorrect facts, spelling, grammar, or even news that is fake! These stories
may not be as reliable as regular news organizations’ stories usually are. Moreover, when people
instantly upload stories and images, they cannot know how other people will use them later. But it
seems that news by the people and for the people is here to stay.
