Citizen Journalism

Being able to comment on the news (citizen jornalism) is useful because it allows you to have your own opinion, playing an active role of reporting, collecting and analysing news and information

My most recent book (a project that is much more than a book) is Mediactive. The new project reflects my strong belief that we need turn media “consumers” into active (even activist) users instead of passive receptacles.

"We the media" Gillmor shows how anyone can produce the news, using personal blogs, Internet chat groups, email, and a host of other tools. Big Media has lost its monopoly on the news, thanks to the Internet. Now that it's possible to publish in real time to a worldwide audience, a new breed of grassroots journalists are taking the news into their own hands
