Citizen journalists more than eyes and ears
There has been a lot of talk about citizen journalists’ photos and videos from the tsunami and London bombings and how news organizations are making it easy for citizen journalists to upload their photos.
But last night Alejandro Junco de la Vega, publisher of Mexico City’s Reforma, Guadalajara’s Mural, and Monterrey’s El Norte told an AEJMC audience that journalists must remember to ask citizens to contribute not just with their eyes and ears, but with their minds too.
I hope to have more from the AEJMC conference as I get time.
