- Abstract
Citizen Journalism is a new breakthrough in the field of journalism, which is growing rapidly and its existence is felt thanks to advances in information and communication technology called the internet. The internet is able to present a sharing space in cyberspace. For example, through weblogs (commonly abbreviated as blogs), a type of web that can contain many things ranging from writings, diaries, videos, comments, or information on certain topics, such as politics, criticizing government policies, regional news, hobbies, invitations, stories. Everyday life, and so on. Not only through blogs, but also various social media. Not only web blogs and social media, other media also take advantage of citizen journalism to complement their news. Radio, television, and print media also get information from listeners, viewers and their readers through audio recordings of residents, amateur videos captured from simple cellphones, or comments and descriptions of the scene around residents like a reporter or journalist. Moreover, now the number of online mass media has also increased in addition to the existence of conventional print media which also converts to online print media. In essence, citizen journalism causes citizens to become people who actively participate in sharing public information that deserves to be known by many people.
