Why the Citizen Journalism does not constitute a threat for the Press Industry. The user cultural production facing the Cultural Industries
Abstract
This paper tries to demonstrate that the participation of the citizen in the creation of cultural contents does not constitute a threat to the communication industries, far from digital information media linked to media groups. The user cultural contents do not suppose that threat because of the superficial commitment of the users in their generation and the short significance of his production, lower than the media brands. The possible competition of citizen journalism is not the reason of the crisis in the industrial press.Downloads
