    With the development of technology, more and more people can join the media and become reporters. However, the rise of citizen journalism also has revolutionary effect on different kinds of careers, such as publishers and other aspects of news and sociey.

    Dated from 2012 but an interesting read that really puts the importance and significance of citizen journalism into perspective

    Citizen journalism is especially powerful when it disagrees with the popular paradigm of the mass media platforms. This article specifically talks about occupy, Syria, and other movements where the media was not necessarily on the side of the protesters. This is particularly powerful because it disinter mediates the mass media and shows a balanced perspective - something that history prior to the internet lacked all too often. Citizen Journalism, although often biased and unfiltered, gives a raw perspective on events which helps people form more informed opinions.

    Some of us get our education at film school. More of us get it from The Criterion Collection, that formidably cinephilic restorer, curator, and packager of classic motion pictures from every era.

    Adding a few high quality photos is a great way to improve a website, article or presentation - but be careful. A search engine like Google Images will quickly locate just about any shot you could ever want, but using them will almost certainly violate someone's copyright.

    Hi Kim! Your contribution is really excellent. I have often been limited to a presentation by the inability to use an image. Thanks for your input.
  • Jamie F on 28 Sep 14
     
    This is a great contribution. I looked into TinEye, and had no idea a service like that existed! It definitely makes you think twice when adding pictures to presentations and websites. I wonder where the line is drawn when it comes to copyright. If I were to use x photographer's picture in an academic paper and I cited it, that would not be copyright infringement (right?!), but once I start making money off of that paper then we enter the world of legal issues. I get it, it's not fair to make money off of someone else's work. But is money the only thing that I would be benefitting from by using this picture in a paper that I would sell? What if my paper was on a hot subject and it therefore became "big" in academia or even pop culture? Am I not adding positively to my reputation by writing this paper, which happens to feature someone else's photograph? It's funny that money is the only thing that matters in copyright, unless I have not understood the law in its entirety. Any clarification would be awesome.

    Thanks Kim! I didn't become aware of the importance of this until I began helping teens in the library produce video book talks. The importance of knowing your image source and respecting its creator/owner is not a top priority for teens, however I tried to stress the availability and convenience of sites like the ones mentioned in the article you shared. Its cache of resources I can't wait to utilize and share.

    Is good to be aware of credits and source for what is being used online...there is the phenomena of cut and paste thesis for students willing to degree....can't find the source by the hundred times the same thesis has been copy around the web...It's enough to take a phrase of what the student "has written" to find clones around the web...what a coincidence... :)
