Citizen journalism is the concept of members of the public,playing an active role in the process of collecting,reporting,analysis and disseminating news and information.
Citizen journalism givs opportunties to people without professional journalism training to be able to use tools of modern technology such as, the internet to creat agrument or fact check media on their own or in collabration with others.
With all the opportunities citizen journalist are given,they do not meet the standards of professional journalist.
As Grubisich  found out in 2005, citizen journalist lack in quality and in content.
I agree to the fact that citizen journalism is a threat to professional journalism due to the speed with which news is reported  and delivered.
