Increasingly mobile devices are an aid to the gathering and reporting of information, both by professional journalists and “citizen journalists”. Outline the advantages and disadvantages of this sort of news gathering. How might it impact on journalistic practices and news values and ethics?
The reason I chose this question pretty much came down to the tute exercise. I really enjoyed the process of making our own news story and find the concept of citizen journalism interesting.
My plan of attack on this question will be to find some examples of citizen journalism, both positive and negative. I'll also look for some journal articles and credible online sources that can support the positive and negative arguments.
A possible problem I see my self having is the word limit. This is a very involved question with a lot of areas to cover. I'll need to keep my arguments to the point and make every work count.
Well this is the last post for a week while we have semester break.... And let me tell you, it is long overdue!!
