Back when the printing press was first invented, only a handful of people had access to journalism. Nowadays, with our ever growing technology, anyone and everyone has the capability to be citizen journalists.
I have a blog right here. I also have a Twitter and Facebook account. All of these social media uses contribute to the information people read about the world. Newspapers have grown with technology by putting their articles online as well. http://www.nytimes.com/
Citizen journalists should not take the online world lightly. It is important to understand that what you post online is stuck there forever! It doesn’t matter how many times you try to take it off, it will always be somewhere online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlqslTxKkmo
Since we all have the means to be citizen journalists, we also have the responsibility to write the truth. As Confucius said, "The object of the superior man is truth." He also said, "It is man that makes truth great, not truth that makes man great." http://tinyurl.com/7km4mhk. It is our responsibility to take the truth we have and make it interesting and relevant to online viewer.
Let us all be responsible citizens and only present the truth!
