Citizen journalism, limits of the journalism work
Abstract
Citizen journalism has become a concern for journalists, media industry and for communication theorists trying to decipher the apparently secret keys of this new way of communication. Among all the related texts, we miss a clear categorization of this communicative way. In this research environment we provided here some light regarding concepts on which we are daily talking about in newsrooms, classrooms and lectures, and in the own network that generates the citizen journalism. We find necessary to review this issue in all its terms and components, its actual sense, from birth to today’s situation, in order to definitely build a valid theory for this so modern and so widespread communication.Downloads
