Defining Citizens' Journalism and Participatory Journalism
CJR attempts to define and draw a distinction between participatory journalism and citizens' journalism:
First, there's the move of established newspapers and news sites to solicit and publish material, such as photos or personal accounts, from their readers -- that we'd like to call "participatory journalism." Then there's the creation of blogs and unedited news sites that allow users to write and post their own content. That one we'll call "citizen journalism."

1 comments about 'Defining Citizens' Journalism and Participatory Journalism'I am a Nigerian blogger who was formerly a freelance journalist since 1987. I have decided to use blogging to practice my profession without fear or playing to gallery of the establishment.
Two prominent Nigerian journalists have been murdered with bombs and other Nigerian journalists have been killed by agents of the military tyrants and criminal politicians, it is safer to publish the truth on line without fear of being hunted and harmed. They cannot seize my newspapers and they cannot ban me from the streets anymore. I am free as a citizen journalist and a citizen of the universe of on line journalism.
To tell the truth
And damn the wrath of the earth.
