Citizen Journalism

aka: Participatory Journalism, esp focused on Politics.

Jeff Jarvis stopped using this term mid-2006: "Networked Journalism" takes into account the collaborative nature of journalism now: professionals and amateurs working together to get the real story, linking to each other across brands and old boundaries to share facts, questions, answers, ideas, perspectives. It recognizes the complex relationships that will make news. And it focuses on the process more than the product.
