http://kattys14.blogspot.com/2008/05/citizen-journalism-question-of-quality.html
Katty S for KCB201. Thursday, May 8, 2008. Citizen Journalism - a question of quality? How do communities evaluate quality? OK, so this question could mean a lot of things. Quality where exactly? In culture, online, but where? Corrective and a supplement to the output of commercial, industrial journalism". If you still don't get it, watch the video below. It gives viewers a rough idea, outlining what citizen journalism is. Videos just somehow always seem to explain it so much better than text. Bruns, A&#...

Content creation process organised ad hoc. Many ...
