As within the realms of science, new realities such as technology and easy distribution of information and its effect on journalism doesn’t always provide the positive results intended of it. In this unique era of increased involvement of the people in the news industry and the loss of the grip the major organizations once had on the flow of information has led to many interesting results, often revealing more about our own nature. The world while in general has become able to become acquainted with various events around the globe, citizen journalism also serves to open new communities of thought, especially online. People seek comfort in their ideas and views, and with the psychological phenomena known as confirmation bias, much of the information today has become filtered or seen from one angle to fulfill the opinions of distinct audiences and their interests.

Citizen journalism has provided the means to create various independent news organizations, blogs and online news forums. Citizen journalism also allowed real time access to events due to its unique quality of anyone being a source. However, such as with censorship and deception by government on news in the past; the bias and agendas of today allow rumours to run rampant and polarizations of thought to make entire groups of people to view something in a particular fashion. However, this is not reflective of true journalism; it is merely the consequence of individuals or groups seeking to drag others into their narrow perceptions and thus divide us further. This new aspect of journalism is exciting as we can see the world from many angles, the only issue is when people only view it from one.

The participation of citizen journalism in a new globalized world is invaluable. Never before have people been so involved in news and it is quite a good thing. However, one must remember, wherever there is a unique audience to tend to, so will information be molded to fit to them. One can say that perhaps people are not ready for such a plethora of information, and the mental limitations that humanity shares, impart no other alternative but to listen to narratives from various news outlets. Now no matter the constrictions of information, it is up to individuals to bear the responsibility to actively seek information from various sources and form one’s own truth in a world seeking to feed everyone the same thing.

These past years people have adapted to technology. You hear news in less than a split second. Not only because people are constantly on their phones, but because people are the ones spreading the news. Being a citizen journalist has its advantages and disadvantages. The funny thing is that people do not realize that they are citizen journalists.

It is a good thing because news travel quickly. The quicker we know, the better. However, citizen journalism causes a lot of damage. Instead of taking action people are numb to there bodies because they are too busy recording and posting news. News that have absolutely nothing to do with them.

This video talks a lot about Citizen journalism how it can be false at time, we definitely have to be really careful in what we read from the internet and social media, sometimes people create websides and blogs and they will publish false material just to get attention and this leads people to believe what they are publishing, causing many of the citizens not know whats happening in reality. Many people feel that to creat and spread stories in the public makes them informed citizens and thats not how it works.This can be seen as positive, with more people longing to be part of the news, and I truly believe this is a really serious topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism has expanded since the beginning of not just journalism, but as well for technology. It has its pros and cons. It is considered as a positive connotation because it allows the public to express their opinions. Which known as freedom of speech. Citizens as  well help others  find out news others have not heard of.

The negative connotation is not knowing when to stop. Someone can be drowning and people actually just stand there just video recording. You as well need to keep in mind how others will feel. It is not a normal citizens place to publicize any news they want. They need to be considerat9.

In today's technology people receive news much faster then the past, citizen journalism which is just regular people reporting news. The upside of this is that we're keeping everyone informed and at an incredible time,we we have more knowledge of things this way.On the downside of this is that sometimes the information given is inaccurate which may cause people to be misinformed about the things going on around them,like if there was a suspect on the loose and they say they have caught him when they really haven't  is false information.

# data[].attributes.body
What we call Citizen Journalism, is not the same thing we know the day of today. Citizen Journalism, now a days is focused many false information. Technology has extended our access to news to a whole other level.  Causing many of the citizens not to know or be informed of whats really happening around the world. Its also being said that many people have considered themselves certified and official news reporters. Which has caused more then just false information and false sources to be put out in the public. Those who are not certified should not have access to the journalism world.
Things in which were presented by the mainstream sources, lead the people to feel unsafe with the security the country held. The internet has increased the chance for any citizen to become a news reporter given to us by social media and blogs. Which has lead to the next problem, who is saying the truth, no one can differ the false reporters from the truth ones. Thankfully, we have daily news where the newscasters also have social media in which they can report the news which were reported in the daily news.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism today has extended because of the use of technology.  Many people feel that to create and spread stories in the public makes them informed citizens. Everything has its positive and negative such as citizen journalism. The negative journalism is mainly about the how the reporter and the work they give and information they give out. They give out more information and extra than the actual reporter that was there at the place. Also, due to the inconsistency of the internet, television or magazines, we have to be careful in what we see or read. This made it easier for anybody to be aware what is going around the world, not just in their community. The nonexistence of competition, worry about political interference and alteration of information gives citizen journalism a sense of true, genuine journalism. It talked about how the news isn't always right. We can't always trust the sources we use. We must be careful in what we read or hear because we could be spreading false news.

# data[].attributes.body
Now an days so many people have the privilege to accesses the internet so easily, and create blogs and websites with certain information with whats going on around the world. Citizen journalism has to do a lot with the internet. Therefore many information and news you get off the internet can be incorrect or just expressed opinions about the occurrence.

You have to be very careful when it comes to this type of journalism.Make sure you are reading upon the right sources and sites. Citizen journalism has its pros and con. one pro is that you receive information much quicker. On the other hand like I said before many information online can be in accurate , and thats one of the cons. Thankfully now its more accurate who are actual reporter on social media with specific little marks appearing next to the username.

With everyone being able to obtain technology "citizen journalism" has exploded. Everyone around the world is now reporting breaking news. This video explained the different types of information you hear or see may be misleading. Examples are magazines, news papers, and t.v. due to the fact they they are willing to say extreme things and take news out of context to get the peoples attention.
Citizen journalism has negative and positive affects. The bad thing about it is that anyone can easily post an article that is false and incorrect or even bias in his or her own opinion. However the good thing about citizen journalism is that we can receive information even faster from our friends on social media. Most importantly we get to see behind the scenes, citizens could post anything without any restriction from a news paper company which will make their report more honest.

Today's technology gives busy people the opportunity to stay up to date with the news. Whether it is today's news, or yesterday's. They have the chance to stay aware about their surroundings. Without all the smart technology, whether it Is smartphones or laptops, many people will be lost. Many people do not have the time nor the access to go out and buy newspaper on a daily basis or a t.v at home to watch the news on air.

On the negative side, people will, are, and have considered themselves certified and official news reporters. This will cause for people to be informed with false information and by false sources. Thankfully, social media provides the verification sign. Those who are official should be verified.

This video talks about the different types of information you hear and see that may not always be true. such as; in magazines, new papers, or even on the television. this leads up to people spreading news that is not true as well. It's not hard at all to join the industry of journalism for instance, all  you need is to have or create a blog or website in which you are able to say whatever you're pleased.

The difference between the positive and negative citizen is that, the positive citizen journalism is based upon our voice we are able to give out information to anyone who can be reached. when in the negative journalism is mainly about how the report and the work they give out.

# data[].attributes.body
This video talks about how we citizen Journalism has changed so much. Before they didn't have technology so they would get the news with what they would see in that very moment.Back the since there was no technoloy everything was difficult for the journalists. This changed though. Technology became a thing and everything changed.

Technology has helped so much journalists but every good has it's bad. Technology has social media and in every social media you can spread news you want. Some people share false news.This has cause a lot of problems for many.

Not all sources can be credible. Citizen journalism is the general public's information about any news they chose to write or tell to the general public. With the advencement of the internet, people (general public) can now connect to others and also spread news about any topic they please. But there's also a positive and negative side to citizen journalism. The positive affect of this is that news is spread faster and quicker. The population is more informed. News now does not have to be on paper and is now accessible to anyone with an electronic device.
The negitive aspect of citizen journalism can be that the news is not credible. The writer can write false infomation giving the general public, "false advertisement." There may not be enough time for the information given to be thoroughly guarenteed thus leaving the public misinformed. With the progession of technology, people are allowed to give their biase or unbiased opinion about the topic in question giving others falsified or honest information. Because technology is now accessible to everyone, it can cause a range of controversy making it difficut to depict if the information is accurate or just opiniated.

This video talks about Citizen Journalism, which basically means social media. It talked about how back in the days when society didn't have technology to use, the journalist will get the news from what they see in that actual spot. They didn't have Internet to find information about a certain cause or event. This made the jobs of journalist extremely dangerous.

This video also talked about how some information you hear or read may turn out to be not true. We cant always trust what we hear or read. Usually, when people read information the tend to spread the word. This could cause harm to others because all the information you may not always be true. We just have to be careful and not trust all the sources. Sometimes to know the truth you have to read the news feedback. Which could help you out, to see if its true or not.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the things this video taught me was that sometimes we use false sources without noticing.  We have to be very careful on what we read. Especially Online, People on social media change everything now days. It's okay if you are sharing the right information. If you are sharing false things then that can cause you or anyone problems.

Citizen Journalism is so different now days then before. The reason why it's because technology keeps expanding. Without technology we aren't able to be informed about what's going on in the world. One of the positive sides of this is that people get to express themselves like never before without no one telling them what to do. Every good has it's bad. Always be careful what you read,see or post.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism ranges very broadly now that journalists have access to sources around them such as social media.  Back when the society didn't have any technology to use, journalists would get their news from seeing the events occur right on the spot causing the news to be much more factual.

The positive aspect on citizen journalism is that their is actually citizen journalists who are dedicated and they give the correct information to others in the society because they just enjoy what they do. Almost everything has it's pros and cons. The con of citizen journalism is that others do it just for publicity by spreading false information about the society or "events" that really didn't occur. As discussed in the video, the news could provide viewers with inaccurate information when multiple events occur all at once which is something i was not aware of.

# data[].attributes.body
This video talks about the different types of information you hear or see may not always turn out to be true it also talks about Citizen Journalism and news outlet sources of where you can get your news feedback from. We can't always trust the sources we use. We must be careful in what we read or hear because we could be spreading false news. Technology has made it easier for citizen journalist to report the news.

Citizen Journalism is both positive and negative. It is positive because it makes it easier to report news. It is also negative, people are rude and provide inaccurate information that spreads.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism can be a very positive thing in the sense that news can get from average people to news providers. It's very efficient because news providers don't even ave to get a news crew wherever things are going down because they can get endless videos from regular people. Not only that, but news travels extremely quickly due to smartphones, news apps, and news providers' social media accounts.

The negative side of this is that false news can be spread just as quick, like wildfire, having people be misinformed until the correct news comes out. Not only is false information an issue, extremely biased news can also spread, changing people's views even though it could be wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism is one of the few types of Journalism that I think has many good and bad sides to it. It really depends on how informed the person is! How informed an individual is is what leads to how good or bad the news is. Due to smartphones news can easily be at your fingertips informing anyone who wants to be informed.
The bad side of citizen journalism has to do with the good side! The fact that smartphones can share news instantly means that even the biased, incorrect news can be spread instantly causing many problems. Citizen journalism all though very effective should only be taken serious to a certain extent.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism is the collection, dissemination, and analysis of news and information  by the general public. A positive  of citizen journalism is that it is really not difficult to become a reporter you just have to have a social media account, a blog or make an online video. A negative about citizen journalism is that biased information is so easily found on a reporter's work. According to the video, one of the best ways to get accurate news is to get the original news unfiltered by middlemen. For current events you should follow the reporter on social media. You should not tune in to news in real time when the news is chaotic because it could lead to misleading information.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism has changed throughout the years. It has changed in good ways but ofcourse every good has its bad.  The bad it's that technology has gone so advanced that people have taken that opportunity to change the news of today. Fake information has been shared all over the world and this can cause huge problems.

Our private lifes are not being private because of this anymore. Everyone changes the news whenever they want. The good thing about this is that you can find news whenever you want and wherever. Even though it has its negative things the postive things are always really good!

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism has changed in so many ways throughout periods of time. Technology has changed so much and in ways to benefit us to get informed on everyday news. But it has both negative and positive effects. Citizen Journalism has given false information. It’s main advantage is all the new technology is able to keep us updated to real time news. Magazines or pop culture news gives us false information all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism can either have a good or positive side. This is good because you can get all the types of news you would like. You can be informed by many ways. Now days people  find this news because they have smartphones. This is the new thing.

The bad thing about this is that people take having phones too far. They start to share fake news and they invade everyones privacy. We are living in days that days is an everyday thing. We really need to be careful what we hear, read or see. Some news can cause panic and other problems.

# data[].attributes.body
The positive perspective on the issue of citizen journalism is that because of citizen journalism a lot more news will be spread. The news will also get to us way quicker or at least at quicker rate then it does now.The that was shown to us tell us where to get the most accurate news.
The negative Perspective is that even though will would get the news at a faster rate it wont be guaranteed that it will be right because it can come out misleading. Also it can cause chaos because the quick leaked news can cause a lot of chaos because its so quick for the citizen journalism to get the news and leak it to the public and that might have been something that wasn't suppose to realse and therefore create chaos.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive point of view of citizen journalism is that information and important news would be readily available to the public. People will be more informed. Information can  be passed at a quicker rate.
Negative perspective, sensitive information can be leaked causing panic and chaos. Privacy will be invaded and information might not be as accurate .

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism has different perspectives from the problem which would be currently occurring. They can have either a positive or negative point of view on the subject. When the news somehow float to the mainstream we sometimes not receive all of the facts but as their personal view. We must be aware as well as careful in what we read or hear because we could be getting false information do to the sources feeling towards it.
As an event occurs the media seems to instantly jump on it. They tell others about without knowing the full facts an sometimes it has happened where the information is false. Today's society is no doubt the most dependent upon our media sources. Citizens drop everything in case of chaos, not to help but to get a good view of the incident.
On the other hand what I personally like citizen journalism its that it allows us to express our opinions on the news or events.

# data[].attributes.body
When it comes to citizen journalism, the outcome can be negative or positive. Citizen Journalism is when private individuals do what professional reporters do.  The involvement of technology can help spread out to other sources. We must not always lean on and trust sources because we could be getting false advertisement, we have to learn to differentiate between erroneous and correct information.

Though it seems as if there are more cons to this subject, it is the truth. Information gets around faster when words get mixed up and it is all just for entertainment. When it comes to a citizen journalist, their perspective is more extrovert and not as professional and sensible as on the other side.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism is when a citizen reports news through blogs, social media, and posting videos. It has many positive and negatives. This video shows us where to find the most accurate news and how live news can be misleading. Technology has made it easier for citizen journalist to report the news.

Citizen Journalism is both positive and negative. It is positive because it makes it easier to report news that is happening right in front of us. Technology makes it faster the news to travel quicker. This may also be very harmful, people may report false news. It can also be negative, people blow thing way out of proportion and over exaggerate. This is what I think about Citizen Journalism

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism is based upon public citizens playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting and spreading news. It has its pros and cons. A Pro is that you can get news out to everyone really fast. Nowadays just about everyone can write a news story and publish it. It's a good outlet for people to inform others about what is going on. It reaches a larger audience, anyone in the world can see what you blog about. A con about Citizen journalism is that the information or the so called "news" they're reporting could be completely false. It's very important to know that where you're getting your news from is a reliable source. All in all citizen journalism is a great gateway for people all over the world to share their news or experiences from wherever they are.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism can be considered raw and uncensored however this could not be portrayed to the public with the skill of a professional.Citizen journalism is the collection, dissemination, and analysis of news and information  by the general public.citizen journalism also has its pros and cons. like one con is that Sources are becoming dependent of other sources and meaning that we cant trust all the sources that we see or hear. And also citizen journalism has came long way with all the new technology we use today. like some sources are legit because some journalist write their stories with full details and have real sources.

# data[].attributes.body
Like all things in life, citizen journalism has its pros and cons. Technology may not be as positive as you think. However, if you utilize it correctly it allows us to advance in our knowledge, technique and much more. For example, it allows us to spread and acknowledge news around the world better than before. It as well allows us the people to express our opinions whether it is bias or not. If we are informed then we have the opportunity to let others know.

Even though it has pros, let us not forget about the cons. In the constitution it is stated that we the people have freedom of speech. As well as the first amendment is freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. Now yes, I do believe that anyone can express the way they feel. However, there are ways to express your opinions. It is not necessary to through trash and shade at others. Which is what the press does. The bring out negative messages into publicity which I strongly disagree on.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism has many pros and cons. Thanks to the advancement in technology, we can record and live stream anything. We are able to broadcast news from our point of view and put it out onto the internet. This allows everyone to stay updated with everything that is going on in the world as it is happening.

Along with that, there are many negatives. Because we have freedom of speech and press, people can publish anything and everything, whether the information is right or wrong. Inaccurate information can lead to bigger problems. People should always further research any topic to assure that their information is correct.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism is when the own people do the role of reporters with the difference of that information that they analyze they can express without censure.It provides the people with different points of view of the newspapers.That helps the people know information that can affect them.That practice help us to be informed about a lot of things.

As we see on the video citizen journalism have cons too.Not all the information that it provides is true.It's not practiced by proffessional people,and they don't care about the fact of give information from false sources.We have to be careful and before think a source is true.

# data[].attributes.body

False sources due to the large amount of technology we have nowadays. Even though Citizen journalism has its good it also has its bad effects. We can be giving and receiving the wrong information. We live in times that people don't care if they give false news , so we have to be careful with what we see in the media, news, magazines and any other places. Many people do this just so they can get attention. Before believing all this news we need to research.

Technology is a big part of our lifestyle it helps in many ways by keeping informed around the world news,friends and etc. Due to easy access to technology, anybody can become a journalist and gives us false sources. Untrained Citizen journalism can lead to mistakes in the writing and false information.

Even though citizen journalism have pros and cons, It's pretty helpful seeing journalist keeping us in touch around the world.A positive source for citizen journalism is that we are able to spread the right information to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
In Citizen Journalism there are many advantages and some disadvantages too. Citizen journalism can be recorded from almost anywhere at anytime. With the use of technology such as phones, built in cameras and recording glasses, we're able to access the different points of view of our world and surroundings, in the hands of our smart devices. Not only that, Citizen Journalism also consist of diversity due to its large amount of journalists, because there`s different people from different places doing this job, so its really divers and shows us what things are happening in different places in the world at any time.
Even though Citizen journalism is really helpful, there are many negative things about it, because of citizen journalism, we are able to publicly upload false information, because it is easy to access any where and anytime. Not only that, most citizens don`t have the skills needed to report information, which can lead them to report false information.

Citizen Journalism has many advantages and disadvantages. To begin with, Citizen journalism can be recorded from almost anywhere at anytime. Through technology such as smart phones, built in cameras and recording glasses, we're able to access our world and surroundings in the hands of our fingertips. Not only that, Citizen Journalism also consist of diversity due to its large amount of journalist.

Citizen journalism can be a blessing and a curse because it does keep us updated from second to second. We rarely miss a thing, and we get the news as it happens. We also get eye witness experiences. Today anyone can be a reporter as long as you have a smartphone.

The curse is that it takes away from the actual reporters who go to school to master this profession. It takes away from the credibility of the actual news reporters because the "citizens" were there before the reporter. it takes away the purpose of the job

The negative aspect is the falseness information that it gives us. On the other hand the positive aspect of citizen journalism is although it is false information they let us see a whole other perspective of the story. citizen journalism gives out stories to individuals who wish to be informed with that kind of materials.

At times citizen journalism can give us false sources. Citizen journalism negative and positive consequences. The main advantage for us now in is all the new technology we have now that is able to keep us updated to the real life but we also have to be careful because sometimes the information they post on the news or the internet can be false information. A positive source for citizen journalism is that we are able to spread the right information to one another. In order to spread the right word we must research the current news and make sure everything that's being said its true before continuing the story.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism can sometimes gives us false sources. It has given us both positive and negative consequences. Many feel that to create a story in the public makes them informed citizens. The sources citizen journalism give are considered raw and uncensored. Since technology has advances quicker its made us more informed on whats going on in the world. Its access to the world it keeps us informed on whats going on everywhere.

This also leads to a wide range of controversy to certain topics. Even though this is good... this can also be bad. People can give out false information on certain topics. The material in citizen journalism should not be taken serious until it is proven true and we see research.

# data[].attributes.body
With the advancement of technology, it resulted in the advancement of citizen journalism. It has both negative and positive consequences. The negative aspect is the false and biased information the citizen journalist could give to the community. The sources citizen journalism give are considered raw and uncensored material. With these biased and opinionated new stories, it creates misinformed citizens and controversial topics. However, there are positive aspects with citizen journalism. With being raw and uncensored material, it can give another or all perspectives of the news story. It would not be tampered with to only show one side of the story. Citizen journalism spreads stories to individuals who wished to be informed. Nevertheless, the material in citizen journalism should not be taken serious until the individual has done their research.

# data[].attributes.body
In the world today, to be involved is to be informed. Many feel that to create and spread stories in the public makes them informed citizens. Now, in some aspects this can be seen as positive. With more and more people yearning to be apart of news they tend to spread very serious and important stories to the lesser informed. In addition, due to new technology many businesses, small and large alike, are capable of spreading their information to reach out to a bigger audience.
As for the negatives, once someone introduces a story they must give unbiased information in order to keep the community well-informed, but many don't do that. Many find that they must place their own opinions within the story and state them as facts. This leads to confused and misinformed citizens. This also leads to a wide range of controversy to certain topics. With so many people with access to become make shift journalists it becomes difficult to trust stories from real journalists who provide accurate information rather than just opinion.

Everything has it's positive and negative such as citizen journalism. Citizen journalism can be considered ''raw"  material. There are considered to be many pros to citizen journalism but the most important probably have to be that it adds a wider berth and colour as it collates information that would not have been placed into the public eye otherwise This can be through a poll, blog or comment, this gives a story a multifaceted view rather than that of the journalist who wrote it. a journalist needs the skills they could only acquire with training however that is not to say that an ordinary person is not capable of objectively telling us the story. For many, citizen journalism isn’t even an attempt at bettering the media, but simply aiding it to report to the mass media or just to get their opinion out on a public scale and as this is the case it makes the material a good read but also one that is looked at with a great scepticism as a big problem with it seems to be checking the facts

Over a past few decades, the news was broad-based and limited which made it difficult for people to read a variety of sources with different perspectives of a story and were unable to know the full coverage due to the government's censorship. However, as the years passed by, technology help revolutionized news by having access to  television, social media, smartphones, etc. This made it easier for anybody to be aware what is going around the world, not just in their community. Due to easy access to technology, anybody can become a journalist. There are advantages and disadvantages of being a citizen journalist. For starters, citizen journalist can provide the community different perspectives and makes the coverage of events possible that mainstream media might otherwise have miss. For example, the mainstream media might cover a small portion of the presidential election stating that Hillary Clinton won, without providing an explanation behind it. A citizen journalist may cover the same story, but provides a different perspective and explanation behind the chosen candidate that have won. Additionally, they have easy access to current events. However, citizen journalist may be biased on what they’re reporting because they don’t have the proper training how to handle certain situation which lead to factual inaccuracies and a lack of impartiality. It poses difficulties to the audience about what to believe. This is why the audience should research the story from variety of sources before sharing to their family and friends. They need to make sure that the information they’re reading is accurate and have the correct sources to provide it. They should also judge for themselves whether or not the information that they’re reading is accurate.

Citizen journalism seems to be considered a hindrance by many however welcomed by many others. Citizen journalism can be considered raw and uncensored however this could not be portrayed to the public with the skill of a professional. Some consider the practicality of it serves journalism for the better rather than for the worse whereas some see it as a threat to the media and their future. Some believe that they have a future hand in hand so it is vital to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of citizen journalism to analyse how it has changed and will continue to develop in the future.
The issue with citizen journalism is the professionalism of it but as states it depends on the person and believes it is an issue with professional journalists too. It is argued that for a good story a journalist needs the skills they could only acquire with training however that is not to say that an ordinary person is not capable of objectively telling us the story. For many, citizen journalism isn’t even an attempt at bettering the media, but simply aiding it to report to the mass media or just to get their opinion out on a public scale and as this is the case it makes the material a good read but also one that is looked at with a great skepticism as a big problem with it seems to be checking the facts.

Citizen journalism has its positive and negative effects. Since technology has changed so much, citizen journalism has expanded. Technology helps us get informed about our everyday news. One of the positive effects is that we can express ourselves with however we want. We don't have to use other people's ideas or thoughts.

Even though Citizen journalism has its good it also has its bad effects. We can be giving and receiving the wrong information. We live in times that people don't care if they give false news , so we have to be careful with what we see in the media, news, magazines and any other places. Many people do this just so they can get attention. Before believing all this news we need to research.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen journalism can sometimes give us false sources. Due to the inconsistency of the internet, television or magazines, we have to be careful in what we see or read.  Many individuals tend to put out false information to put a rise out of themselves. For example, someone might say that another person committed a crime but in reality that person did not do anything. In fact, that can lead to serious defamation to that person's life.
Although there are a lot of negatives to citizen journalism, there's also tons of positives. For example, one can express there true and authentic voice rather than quoting others. Personally, I feel as if citizen journalism can have mostly positive effects on individuals.

Citizen journalism has given ordinary people a voice and the ability to express their opinion publicly regarding crucial events that take place on an everyday basis. This privilege has become more and more accessible thanks to never-ending advances in technology.
Citizen journalism undoubtedly has both positives and negatives. Regular citizens could provide point of views and first-hand information that are not always available from world renown organizations. The lack of competition, worry about political interference and alteration of information gives citizen journalism a sense of true, genuine journalism. However, not all citizens have 100% credibility and accuracy. Ordinary people could sometimes be biased and may not always provide dependable information.

One of the things this video teaches is that sometimes we use false sources. We have to be careful in what we read from the internet, magazines, news papers and other things. We can write about things we want but with the correct information. We have to think about that others will be reading that and doing what it says.  False news can really play with our minds. Many people will put false information everywhere just for attention.

Citizen Journalism today has expanded because of the technology we use.  Without this technology people wouldn't be able to be informed about our every day news. One of the positive effects about Citizen journalism is that you can express yourself. As long as you are spreading good things. Always be sure to research before spreading new things and remember it needs to be real!

# data[].attributes.body
This video teaches us that we cant always believe the news the internet shows us. We must be careful in what we read or hear because we could be spreading false news.Anyone can put anything on the internet and brain wash you into thinking is a real thing.

The good thing about Citizen Journalism is that you are able to express your true self and have your own voice.But always make sure to research a lot before believing something from seen it only once.

Citizen journalism has its positive effects, but every good had its bad. The main advantage in the all of the new technology is being able to keep up with everything going on in the world as it is happening. People are constantly tweeting and instreaming all kinds of things, helping us stay up to date. Smartphones, computers, and smart glasses have made newspapers and magazines irrelevant to the people in today’s society. Along with all of the positive, is the negative. A lot of the information put out into social media by citizen journalism can be false or inaccurate. Many blogs and websites will publish false material just to get attention and this leads people to believe what they are publishing. People need to make sure what they are reading is something that more than one person has written about and may even have similar information. By doing this, you will be correctly informed and updated. �b��_�

Todays advancement in technology has given a chance to those who are extremely busy to stay informed with everything going on in todays world, and everything surrounding them. Without the existence of smart phones, glass-based cameras, laptops, and etc. Most business men, doctors, or even people invloved with the law, probably would not have the time to go out and search for magazines, the daily/times/world newspaper, or be at home in time for the tv networks where the newscaster delievers news at the same exact time every evening.

It became a problem as mass media spread... Scandals begun and proved that democratic goverments were misleading those who were watching often with media corruption. Things in which were presenetd by the mainstream sources, lead the people to feel unsafe with the security the country held. The internet has increased the chance for any citizen to become a news reporter given to us by social media and blogs. Which has lead to the next problem, who is saying the truth, no one can differe the false reporters from the truth ones. Thankfully, we have daily news where the newscasters also have social media in which they can report the news which were reported in the daily news.

The only negative thing which is coming from having so much technology is the fact that anyone can put a front and consider themselves an offical news reporter and give out false information with false sources. Though, that is why through social media there is "verification" and offical reporters will be verified.

The source we use can be false at time. We have to be careful in what we read or hear from the internet or any other way because false news may cause situations we wouldn’t like to be in. We can have our own blog or website and say whatever we want to say. But we should be very careful because we might be giving the wrong information and that’s the least thing we want.

Something positive about citizen journalism is that we are able to have our own voice and help other easily reach it by spreading it.  To spread the right word it is best to uses sources of the original story and put it in your own words. No one knows what exactly will happen so we must be careful on what information we get or put.

Citizen Journalism has expanded due to phones, computers, and social media. It has negative and positive aspects of it. Citizen Journalism lets the average person state their own opinion and reactions on events and news. It works for personal blogs and comedy blogs.
It also has negative aspects of it, people are rude and provide inaccurate information that spreads and false information gets into peoples head. Citizen Journalism leads to many good and negative things.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism is collecting information that takes many forms such as text, pictures, or video.  Technology such as the Internet gave people the ability to transmit information in a global scale. Citizen Journalism provides many perspectives, it makes people engaged regarding certain issues that can affect their own lives in a positive in a negative way, and it is a way for ordinary citizens to assist professional journalists about current events.

However, there are disadvantages to citizen journalism, such as bias reporting. Citizen journalists are considered bias at some point and are not capable of providing credible information to the public. They do not have training on libel law, which can affect an investigation and give problems for the wrongfully accused. Citizen Journalists often overlook copyright laws, such as failing to identify some of the content without the consent of the copyright owners. Citizen Journalists simply do not have the training, unlike professional journalists, therefore making certain resources questionable, in effect makes the public question whether the information that we see and read is credible and legitimate, or being unreliable.

We can't always trust the sources we use. We must be careful in what we read or hear because we could be spreading false news. We can have our own blog or website and say whatever we'd like. However, we'd not only be biased but we wouldn't always have correct information.

A positive about citizen journalism is that we have this voice and are able to put out information to someone who can easily reach it.  To have accurate information, it is best to find the original piece of the story and judge for yourself. Things change every second and the news will change with every piece of information.

Citizen journalism is considered to have many pros to citizen journalism, it adds a wider view and color as it collates information that would not have been placed into the public eye through a poll, blog or comments, and as well as this they cover the news that mainstream media misses.

Citizen journalism as lacking the ethical and professional legitimacy of professionals. Many just speak their mind and don’t read sources checking if there word is 100% truthful. m4| �����

According to the video, News should be told in a certain way to convey different perspectives.Citizen Journalism is seen by many but having different reasoning's to each peer that is perceiving it. Sources are becoming dependent of other sources and etc,meaning that we cant trust all the sources that we see.In a digital world with a whole host of different ways to communicate a factual message it is increasingly hard to judge the value of amateur eyewitness film shot on a mobile phone and posted on the internet against a considered, observational documentary broadcast on a traditional television channel,meaning that there is a lot of inaccurate and accurate sources to be based upon.The News keeps changing and people distort it and nobody knows the real truth at the end.

As citizen journalism has its positive effects, it also has its negative disadvantages. One of the main advantages of technology is that it is easier for people to be aware of what is happening, not only in their community, but in other parts of the world, no matter the distance. Technology has facilitated the access to the news, whether it is from a smartphone or a computer at work. It is no longer just paper based. There are even apps that by just one click, they can read any news they would like. Through citizen journalism, we know about how others feel about certain events occurring. However, there is also a negative aspect to citizen journalism. Citizen journalism tends to be very biased and not very factual. Therefore, it is not a reliable source, putting in doubt the truth because the audience does not know what to believe.

# data[].attributes.body
citizen journalism has many ways of being viewed and has change a lot over time. reason being because sources get there information from other sources and those from others and ect.. but you see it pass down over and over again so we really don't know whats the truth or if its a facts that we see or read about. if we think its true and tell somebody or tweet or put it anywhere then where telling people false things and then they going to spread false things. now days everything is like the news, you hear one thing but the news blow it up like if its the end of the world but its something so small.

# data[].attributes.body
Citizen Journalism has two ways that of it being viewed. A positive and a negative journalism… We can't always trust the sources we use. We must be careful in what we read or hear because we could be spreading false news.  The difference between the positive citizen and the negative citizen journalism is that, the positive citizen journalism is based upon our voice we are able to give out information to anyone. Meanwhile the negative journalism is about the how the reporter and the work they give and information they give out. On the video it demonstrates us how news has been spreaded throughout time. As news keep spreading the details may change and misunderstood, so not everything you read is true.

Literally everyone and anyone can be a part of citizen journalism, just as social media; quickly spreading and anyone can start a rumor or story. In the video it explains to us to do some research on the current news to make sure it is actually true before continuing the story.

Journalism has evolved with time. With the advance of technology, now is easier to read magazines or newspapers but so is trick people with fake news. The video give us an introduction of how journalism had change and most important, the way some call "journalist" public on intenert fake news. We have to be alert in any time and don't believe all the news or articles that we read on web pages or even though on television, you don't know when the new is real or no.
So, "citizen journalism" has helped alot, but like all the things in this world, it has advantages and disadvantages. Some advantages of this "citizen journalism" is the way they communicate the news. They use internet, and some of them have their own blogs where they publish the news. So, for us, its easier to be informate of what is happening aroud us, because we all know, that internet, is faster and easier to use, with just one click we're already reading or watching the new.
A disadvantage of this "citizen journalism" is that not everybody is providing the right news, some of them are just trying to spread a new as a joke, and sometimes, depending on how serious is the "joke", it can scare people.  Also, we don't know if the source that we're using is real or the new that we're reading is true and that's a big problem, because when we read a new the first thing we, as humans so, is talk with other people about it.
In conclussion, we should not believe all the things that we read on social media, we have to be really carefull and always have our eyes open to everything we are watching or reading.

This video talked about how the news isn't always right. We can't always trust the sources we use. We must be careful in what we read or hear because we could be spreading false news. while on the other side (The positive side) citizen journalism is what everyone can express their beliefs and opinions to relate to others if there is a positive there are also negatives to a situation. stating that ANYONE can start news which may lead to false advertising and the ones that start false news may be only doing it for publicity and money. the point of this video was to make sure to know the sources you are reading off to know the complete story. NOT JUST THE RUMORS !!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
On the video, it’s mostly about Citizen Journalism and news outlet sources of where you can get your news feedback from. The positives display a vast array of news outlets which give out accurate information that is actually up for the individual to decide whether or not the information is accurate. The cons to this are, there are a wide array of people who can be citizen Journalist's. who is willing to give out raw unedited information that displays nothing but the truth to it? That is part of the reason why people, can look into different sources of the media or outside the media put the puzzle pieces together then, find out the real truth of actual news or sources that they're listening to.  I found this topic really interesting and understanding

On the video it demonstrates us how news have been spreader throughout time. As news keep spreading the details may change and misunderstood, so not everything you read is true. Anyone can be a part of citizen journalism as social media is quickly spreading and anyone can start a rumor such as tabloids and reality television. In the video it explains to us to do some research on the current news to make sure it is actually true before continuing the story. The positive side of citizen journalism is that everyone can express their beliefs and opinions to relate to others if there is a positive there are also negatives to a situation. As stated in the positives ANYONE can start news which may lead to false advertising and the ones that start false news may be only doing it for publicity and money. So be sure to know the sources you are reading off to know the complete story.

This video talks about the different types of information you hear or see may not always turn out to be true such as; in magazines, new papers, or even television. which leads up to people spreading news that may not even be true. Now a day it's not hard at all to join the industry of journalism for example, all you really need is to have your own blog or website in which you could say whatever you're pleased to say. The difference between the positive citizen and the negative citizen journalism is that, the positive citizen journalism is based upon our voice we are able to give out information to anyone who can be reached. Meanwhile the negative journalism is mainly about the how the reporter and the work they give and information they give out . This video also talked about how we should just get the news by the original news or even follow the reporter on his/hers social media makes everything more realistic. I feel like we are some how brained washed on everything that is around us we could and would believe anything we see on social media or the news because we expect it to all be real since its "keeping us up to date" but sometimes we just have to realize
that not everything we hear to see its true so we as curios people have to find out for our self and double check just in case.

On the video, it talks mostly about Citizen Journalism and news outlet sources of where you can get your news feedback from. Although, the positives displays a vast array of news outlets which give out accurate information that is actually up for the individual to decide whether or not that source of information is accurate.
Mostly, the cons to this are, there are a wide array of people who can be citizen Journalist's. But the question is, who is willing to give out raw unedited information that displays nothing but the truth to it? That is part of the reason why people, can look into different sources of the media or outside the media put the puzzle pieces together then, find out the real truth of actual news or sources that they're listening to.

According to this video, every information you see or here might not all be believable because a lot of people like to put fraudulent information out on the world. Citizen journalism is the collection, dissemination, and analysis of news and information  by the general public. A positive  of citizen journalism is that it is really not difficult to become a reporter you just have to have a social media account, a blog or make an online video. A negative about citizen journalism is that biased information is so easily found on a reporter's work. According to the video, one of the best ways to get accurate news is to get the original news unfiltered by middlemen. For current events you should follow the reporter on social media. You should not tune in to news in real time when the news is chaotic because it could lead to misleading information. Tuning into various sources and noting the differences let's you put the pieces together for a more complete picture.

# data[].attributes.body
In this video, it talked about how the news isn't always right. We can't always trust the sources we use. We must be careful in what we read or hear because we could be spreading false news. Considering the fact that only a few decades we began having different places to find sources. It's very easy for everyone to become (in a way) journalists. We can have our own blog or website and say whatever we'd like. However, we'd not only be biased but we wouldn't always have correct information. A positive about citizen journalism is that we have this voice and are able to put out information to someone who can easily reach it.

To have accurate information, it is best to find the original piece of the story and judge for yourself. For rallies or any big events happening, following reporters, on social media, who are actually there is the best source. They will have live videos on the action and not filter anything. If you want updates on a kidnapping, natural disaster, or robbery, it is best to check updates after an hour or so. Things change every second and the news will change with every piece of information they receive. (Source: TEDEd)

I really agree that the internet can be very misleading however it's up to us to find out what's real and what isn't. It's very important to keep up with what's going on in the world and it can be hard to know what's actually real. That's why we must learn.
