ReplyDelete1 citizen journalism is when someone, might be everybody, make a post on a forum or on his blog to discuss of something, or make a reportage of something, take photo of an event... It's when someone report a new on the internet, and real job of this person is not jornalist (doesn't make that for money).
2 here are some alternative terms: Unfiltered, networked journalism, open source journalism, participatory journalism, hyper-local journalism, grassroots journalism.
3 an user generated tv is a channel on tv were you can watch videos, but they are posted by web users. People can give their videos to make the program of the channel.
Some examples: http://www.sumo.tv/, trouble, MTV Flux..
4 Citizen journalism is here to stay because it's an alternative to classical journalism, but in a serious way too. It has developed on the net and now we can ignore his importance, even in politics like show the video.
5 I think it's really good that citizen journalism exist because it give an other point of view, one that come from people nearest from us, and without any influence.
6. no i'm not.
7. No I didn't but I will now.
8. It shows the fact that people can post article about things uninteresting for other, things which nobody cares.., things banal that didn't need an article. The critism is that everyone can be citizen journalist and this can be a bad thing because people can publish things without interest.
9. Danger is that citizen can put themselves in danger in order to capture videos. Then can approach the dangerous subject too closely to have a better video or photo...
