Citizen Journalism

Respond to one of the following questions, then write a response to at least 2 classmates’ submission.

1. “Supporters of citizen journalism argue it provides independent, accurate, reliable information that the traditional media dont provide. While it has its place, the reality is it really isnt journalism at all, and it opens up information flow to the strong probability of fraud and abuse. The news industry should find some way to monitor and regulate this new trend.” ~David Hazinkski

Do you agree with Mr. Hazinkski? Why or why not? Is it “real” journalism? What makes journalism ‘real’?
