Citizen journalism is a forum that citizens use to
express what happened at a particular place and also provide inputs
like photos , audios and videos of what they captured at the spot where something eventful had happened.
This
sort of journalism places control in the hands of the "AAM AADMI" and
lets the world know what is happening on the ground, or at least lets
the world formulate its own opinion.
This would also aid in swift reaction times and will help people in networking.
It makes use of the fast growing "WWW" which is the greatest invention or let us say development of our times.
In India
with over a billion population and vis-�-vis a billion opinions this
would help in getting the views from all parts of society. To aid in
this we should enable the villages of India with cheap Internet. facilities.
Having
said that I know that it is no easy task but would call for some
intelligent investment form our representatives as a whole.
