Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | Palgrave Macmillan | Series/Report no.: | Participatory Politics and Citizen Journalism in a Networked Africa;Chapter 3: p. 34-58 | Abstract: | The advent of the Internet and social media has arguably opened up and democratized journalism as a social and professional practice. Most recently, newer online and mobile phone practices, variously referred to as “citizen journalism”, “participatory journalism”, “citizen-generated media”, “unfiltered journalism”, “hyperlocal journalism”, “networked journalism” and “grass-roots journalism”, have entered the journalism landscape, albeit constituting themselves mainly as subaltern, deprofessionalized, deinstitutionalized and radical counterhegemonic spaces (Allan, 2013; Atton, 2002; Gillmor, 2006; Moyo, 2014). Over time, these practices have crystalized around the term “citizen journalism”, identified by the leading alternative and digital media scholars as: (a) journalism that is often associated with narratives of the ordinary people; (b) journalism that is often associated with crises, be it social, political or even environmental; (c) journalism that is shaped by the history and society in which in obtains (Allan, 2013; Atton, 2002;Gillmor, 2006). | URI: | https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1057/9781137554505_3 https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137554505_3 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/4457 |
