Project description
In the past years new possibilities have emerged for ordinary citizen to act as journalists, particularly on the internet. The goal of our research is on the one hand to map those technologies and to discover their journalistic surplus. On the other hand, the organizational reaction of traditional media to those technologies is studied.
