From Jay Rosen’s important essay “Bloggers vs. Journalists Is Over”
Distributed journalism. Open Source journalism. Citizens media. Citizen journalism. We media. Participatory media. Participatory journalism.
These are the new names for the discussion that first grew up around blogging. Steve Outing of the Poynter Institute noticed it:
“The earthquake and tsunamis in South Asia and their aftermath represent a tipping point in so-called “citizen journalism.”
What September 11, 2001, was to setting off the growth and enhanced reputation of blogs, the December 2004 tsunamis are to the larger notion of citizen journalism (of which blogs are a part).
