Citizen journalism within news websites.

BBC has the Have your Say section –> you send pictures and videos to them and they filter it.

Daily Mail has comment sections for almost every article unless it is an ongoing trial. They also sometimes link to youtube videos made by ‘normal’ people when something is happening around the world. Eg, tornadoes in America 2011.

The Guardian–> they have links to twitter/fb but everyone else does as well. Can’t find too much there dedicated to citizen journalism. Not many comment sections but lots of links to blogs.

Al Jazeera–> no comment section but they do include a live twitter discussion in a few articles! And a lot of links to blogs by professional journalists.

Full story here.

Facebook has currently 800 million users world-wide.
