| CJ , aka citizen journalism, describes
the way in which citizens play an active role in collecting,
reporting and distributing news and information. It's a term
that can be interchanged with 'user-generated content.' Like
other cutting-edge terms, 'citizen journalism' is not universally
accepted. What needs to be examined is whether the rhetoric
delivers. We explore this in depth on the Journalism
Wiki.
NEW MEDIA
CJ is an accepted lead by many in corporate journalism. It's
also a source for immediate photos and videos. Flickr and YouTube
have become tremendous successes by the content delivered by
its members. Other more 'journalistic' endeavors are lower down
on my priority list because they are frequently agenda-driven
(looking for examples to bolster their philosophical point of
view).
