| 00:09 | Hello Back in Unit one . We mentioned the role | |
| 00:13 | of citizen journalism in today's digital media . In this | |
| 00:17 | video , we're going to look at citizen journalism more | |
| 00:20 | closely at the two main types of citizen journalists and | |
| 00:25 | talk about the ways that ordinary citizens can get involved | |
| 00:31 | . Citizen journalism refers to the way that ordinary members | |
| 00:35 | of the public , not professional journalists , collect and | |
| 00:41 | distribute information via the Internet . By doing this , | |
| 00:51 | citizen journalists can give ordinary people a voice . There | |
| 00:56 | are two main ways that the general public can become | |
| 00:59 | citizen journalists , one working on their own and to | |
| 01:05 | working with news organizations . Let's look at these two | |
| 01:09 | types in more detail . The first type of citizen | |
| 01:14 | journalism is where citizen journalists work on their own , | |
| 01:19 | not affected by traditional media . Citizen journalists are not | |
| 01:24 | adding to articles that already exist . They are creating | |
| 01:28 | something by themselves . There are two main ways that | |
| 01:32 | people can do this , one through social media Or | |
| 01:37 | two by creating a blog or website . Many people | |
| 01:43 | have a social media account such as facebook or twitter | |
| 01:48 | by publishing photographs and opinions and sharing stories . The | |
| 01:53 | public can help to report what is going on in | |
| 01:55 | the world During the Arab Spring . In Egypt . | |
| 01:59 | In 2011 , protesters used social media to coordinate their | |
| 02:05 | demonstrations against the government . When a person feels strongly | |
| 02:11 | about an issue , they might create their own blog | |
| 02:15 | or website to share their opinions with other people . | |
| 02:21 | This is an opportunity for someone to write more or | |
| 02:24 | to continue with the same topic Over a period of | |
| 02:28 | time with a website , a citizen journalist can use | |
| 02:32 | different types of media to communicate their message . Some | |
| 02:40 | citizen journalists work with existing news organizations . There are | |
| 02:45 | three main ways to do this , commenting on articles | |
| 02:50 | , crowd sourcing and live blogging , commenting on articles | |
| 02:57 | refers to the comments that readers make on an online | |
| 03:01 | news article . You can give your opinion on the | |
| 03:05 | topic or comment on the article itself . Other readers | |
| 03:11 | can reply to your comment as well as the original | |
| 03:15 | article crowd sourcing means using a crowd a lot of | |
| 03:21 | people to work on a project in journalism , it | |
| 03:28 | means asking the general public to provide additional information to | |
| 03:34 | complete a story . Journalists usually do this when a | |
| 03:39 | task is very big and needs many people . For | |
| 03:43 | example , if a very long document too long for | |
| 03:47 | one person to read is made public , a newspaper | |
| 03:50 | might ask it's readers to each reader part to check | |
| 03:54 | the facts or look for details . Live blogging occurs | |
| 03:59 | when something is happening live , such as a concert | |
| 04:02 | of political meeting , a sports match or a severe | |
| 04:05 | weather event like a snowstorm . If we take the | |
| 04:09 | example of a snowstorm , online newspapers will ask the | |
| 04:12 | readers to send in stories of how the snow is | |
| 04:16 | affecting them . Along with photographs of the snow . | |
| 04:20 | Readers might also talk about travel delays or places being | |
| 04:26 | closed . So in this video , we looked at | |
| 04:32 | the role of citizen journalists in the digital media . | |
| 04:36 | We saw that there are two types of citizen journalism | |
| 04:40 | working on your own , using social media , blogs | |
| 04:44 | and websites , and working with news organizations by commenting | |
| 04:50 | on articles , crowdsourcing and live blogging . Next , | |
| 04:57 | Well , look at ethics in the digital age . |
