Final Paper Thesis: Citizen Journalism

I would like to write about citizen journalism for my upcoming final paper. I have been fascinated by the rise of citizen journalism and the tremendous impact it has on our lives. Although the mainstream media provides the public with the facts (and many times twisted truths) about the events happening around the world, they fail to address the things that happen on a smaller scale. The advent of blogs have allowed individuals to express their opinions on various global occurrences, and even allowed them to dispute the arguments of the mainstream media. I believe there are more to be understood about citizen journalism and would like to dive deeper into the topic through the final paper.
