Citizen journalism vs. professional journalism - The world of press releases and the press
The Editor's Weblog has been looking at the question of whether amateur citizen-journalists can ever perform "true" journalism. The issue becomes more relevant as newspapers increasingly try to develop their interactive capacity by having journalists and blogs incorporated into their media mix - with mixed results too. My view is that - with few exceptions - old line media have remained in the jurassic age so far as embracing new media is concerned. Also, 'old line' journalists trained in taking an objective stance on issues of the day are not necessarily the world's most compelling bloggers.Online Journalism Review conducted interviews with several online journalists to see what they thought about newspapers integrating blogs into their journalism. Results were mixed. Check them out.
