CITIZEN JOURNALISM – THE FUTURE DILEMMA

Journal Title: Megatrendy a médiá - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

Citizen journalism consisting in the Internet users’ activity became a platform for the presentation of their autonomous opinions. This modern form of journalism differs from the traditional journalism in terms of financial independence and simplicity of publication. It allows to instantaneously interact with the readers. It originated together with the widespread access to the new media tools, and was a response to the common disillusionment with the mass media notoriety for information manipulation. Does this manifestation of a spontaneous reaction of the recipients of the media that aspire to create solid and responsible journalism have a future? The answer to the question formulated like this seems ambiguous.
