Exciting to see so many news publishers active on social media sites. The power of community building and the instant feedback it provides offers a new tool to product managers and editors. But, the publishers must put a face to name and respond to the feedback.
Citizen journalism is exciting and social media has made it fast and cheap to disseminate CJ news but, as I always say, can you trust CJ news -- especially a big breaking news?
Any thoughts?

I've always wondered the very same question - Can we really rely on CJ articles? Well, I typically read only the human interest and some sport stuff from them ...the rest I still depend on the news channels. :)
I think most of the citizen journalism content has been limited to highlighting civic issues. I see an immense possibility of using CJ to get valuable content from whistle-blowers who can post their content without disclosing their identity. CJ can also be effectively used along with Right to Information wherein activists can regularly share vital information through CJ.
