Journalists in the Age of Bloggers and Other Non Traditional Journalism Forms

Abstract: The growth of social media, including weblogs and podcasts, can be seen as having a significant impact on the communicative power balance between those who attempt to report the news. This 14 page paper discusses whether it is possible to draw a clear theoretical distinction between a someone working for a traditional news organisation and a citizen journalist with his or her own weblog and looks at what the role of the journalist is, or may be, in the word of social media. The bibliography cites 16 sources.
