At last, the local angle
Let’s do a little comparison of the major cable news’ stations Web sites:
OK, we get it: the networks want people to do their jobs for them. Aside from loathing the term “citizen journalist” — as if, say, me or Fox News’ anchors do so great a job that they need to be separated from the unwashed masses — it’s actually probably a good thing. The people who want their stories on TV will get it out there perhaps, there’s more information, etc., etc. It seems lazy, but I understand it. NBC10, however, is looking to do the same: but from a local perspective.
Shit, I need to cut my hair, put on a suit and get my gas price horror story ready. |

I hate the term “citizen journalist” that’s being thrown around lately on the major networks. I know the major networks and papers are scared that news is constantly being disseminated online, but to call people “citizen journalists” is somewhat demeaning.
I think a better term would be “first-hand accounts.” I think what separates a journalist from a “first-hand account” is the fact-checking and interviewing - not necessarily the information.
