This article contents a chapter that is dedicated to “participatory journalism”. It’s very interesting and it has much new information. Before reading it I have never heard about this direction of journalism that becomes very popular and widespread.
I agree that “participatory journalists” are more objective because very difficult to be impartial when you are under the pressure of editors and sponsors, producers, etc. Furthermore, I consider that a “citizen journalist” is a voice of ordinary people. He or she expresses thoughts and anxieties that exist in society. Moreover, newspaper’s editors who have such reporters can easy get know that information is more popular at the present moment and tell about it more comprehensively.
Nevertheless, often this kind of reporters do not have special education, as a result, their describing of event can be inaccurate therefore it can create many problems for editors.
