‘CitizenTube’ is changing journalism
Friday, June 18th, 2010Sometimes a cell phone that can record video is all you need to do citizen journalism:
When YouTube launched CitizenTube in 2008, it marked Google’s support of citizen journalism and crowdsourcing via video. Now that it’s the second biggest search engine (after its parent) and users are turning to it for news and information, YouTube is shifting CitizenTube from a citizen portal to a news source, mixing amateur and professional video clips.
Any user can upload news footage and flag it for inclusion on Twitter (by alerting @citizentube), as Steve Grove, YouTube’s head of news and politics, notes on the site’s blog.
Grove also writes, in an article titled “YouTube’s Ecosystem for News,” that “Our users innovate at an extraordinary pace and in ways that amaze us, make our world more transparent, and change the way we consume information and are informed.”

Blogs make a difference, but they need to publish daily
Friday, June 11th, 2010One of the benefits of affiliating with the National Association of Journalists is that we ran across the blog of Susan Cormier, one of the founders of the organization. Naturally, she writes a lot of stuff that’s designed to encourage bloggers and citizen journalists. In this post, she offers details from a study that encourages bloggers to do what we have advised: Write every day.
“Citizen news and blog sites can serve as complements to daily newspapers,” according to the study, Citizen Journalism Web Sites Complement Newspapers. “They can provide opinion and hyperlocal news that large dailies do not.”
But the study, published in the Spring 2010 issue of the Newspaper Research Journal, also acknowledged that citizen journalism websites are not a substitute for daily newspapers.
The conclusions were made after researchers from three American universities analyzed 53 citizen news sites, 86 citizen blog sites and 63 daily newspaper sites in 46 markets. One of the key factors in their analysis was whether the sites published on a daily basis.
Darn right. So, write, darn it.
Not every post has to be a long essay that proves exactly what is wrong with the city council, or what is wrong with the school board.
Sometimes, you just put up a link and comment. You do this because you want viewers to visit your site, because there will always be something new they can read. And when you do have that serious, long piece on your site, people will visit to read it.
And while you are at it, comment on the comments others make on your posts.
A look at the user’s manual
Thursday, June 10th, 2010A lot of this applied to administrators, of which only Billy Dennis and Debbie Adlof are.
But there is a ton of stuff here that will make it easy for users to work w9ith this site.
