The four critiques of 'citizen journalism'

Extract

"Since launching the Citizen Journalism Awards to highlight the growing importance of contributions from non-professional journalists to the newsgathering process, Press Gazette has drawn a bit of criticism.
The problem was not so much the concept, which no less than participatory media guru Dan Gillmor deemed a cool idea, but the label we gave it. Many people objected to either the term “citizen journalism” or the way we used it."
