Citizen Journalism

Some advantages of citizen journalism is that you are able to read about things from the writers perspective, from some one that is part of the community. It allows for people to relate to them more easily. A lot of times people do not question what it is that they are reading, therefore there is no credibility to the information that they are reading. With citizen journalism any person can write about something that would influence the public towards one idea. The disadvantage of citizen journalism is the lack of credibility. This means that the information that people are getting, is not accurate. This can cause miscommunication, and as a result may cause more issues.

Many people do not trust "traditional" media with the feeling that traditional media is often times bias, and perhaps does not understand their perspective. Traditional media however provides unbiased information, that is factual and more reliable. There are television and media networks that are perhaps more bias towards a political view, but often times the information that they provide is more accurate.

I can not imagine a world without "traditional" media. Personally I prefer traditional media because I know that the information provided by traditional media is more accurate. If we did not have a source of media that provided more "accurate" information, than how would be be able to differ the truth from lies.
