Citizen journalism is a relatively new movement in journalism that corresponds with the age of communication and technology that inhabits people’s worlds today.
Citizen journalism is a type of journalism practiced by everyday people. Citizens, some without proper journalism training, are using this modern technology to publish their journalistic work.
It can happen spontaneously or deliberately. Citizen journalists can use their cellphone to capture newsworthy events they are involved in or watching or they can can go and cover something in their community as a planned activity.
