In my article, I am exploring the new phenomenon known as Citizen Journalism and researching how it is beginning to take over the media industry.
It is becoming increasingly popular on the internet and is easy to access which is appealing for readers.
This form of reporting is appealing and I’m investigating the positives of the growing phenomenon. It seems to be more positive because Citizen Journalists have the reputation of being more honest then a professional journalist. People are more interested in reading stories that the writer didn’t get paid to write but wrote to express their opinion.
Citizen Journalism is also very popular because the reader is able to understand the perspective of the writer and can often relate whereas with a professional journalist, they are told what to write and the angle to come from, and lack the perspective factor. I think this is what lets them down.
