The Citizen Journalist

The growing nature of online interaction and user generated content that allows us, the public, to become a part of producing the media content.

The Citizen Journalist is a great example of this. With new technology that enables us to interact and produce. Take for instance, the mobile phone, not only does this allow us to communicate with people via phone conversations or texting but this small communicative device embeds a camera, camcorder and voice recorder.
These new technological applications and the fact that the mobile phone is mobile, allows us, the consumers to use it and produce what we want.
Citizens can now, take photos, record footage for news media and of course, for their own Web2:0 applications.
