The concept of CJ is based on public citizens playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing and disseminating news and information. CJ is a specific form of both citizen media and user-generated content (UGC).

New media technology such as social networking sites (SNS) and media-sharing websites in addition to the increasing prevalence of mobile phones have made CJ more accessible to people worldwide.

Due to the availability of technology, citizens can often report breaking news faster than traditional media reporters (Mashable Asia, 2015).

Furthermore, CJ has been described as an alternative an activist form of news gathering and reporting that functions outside mainstream media stations, often as a report to shortcomings in the professional journalistic field that uses similar journalistic principles but is driven by different objectives and ideals and relies on alternative sources of legitimacy than traditional or mainstream journalism.

CJ is also succinctly defined thus: When the people formerly known as the audience employ the press tools they have in their possession to inform one another(Freebase, 2015).

Getting Started: Citizen Journalism & Career Paths Blogging: An easy way to post text. Last post written is first read, so encourages frequent writing. Photo sharing: Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest, Photobucket, Picassa. The effect of the haze on public health, for example. Social Networking: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc. The political implications of the Bersih 4.0 and The Red-Shirt rallies, for example. Virtual reality: Create an entire new world online. Malaysia: The Rainbow of the Southeast Asia, for example. Open Source Journalism: Citizen journalists mediate between the society and professional journalists: As the event occurs, we share it (after weve witnessed and recorded it).

Remember that:Content of a blog is in reverse order -- the most recent entry is on top.Older posts dont go away, they are just lower on the page.Each entry in a blog has its own URL -- meaning that you can send a link to a single story to someone.Adding photos is very, very easy.Handwritten material works quite well if scanned.Blogs are especially good for team projects.
