11. Comparison
• The Citizen journalists are able to communicate their opinion without
the worry of ever being fired or reprimanded for their actions. In the
BBC and Independent they have to stick by guidelines and codes so
they do not offend the public, for example the BBC can never show a
bias and must always discuss both sides of a story, this is due to being
a public service broadcaster. But with the independent
• In all the articles they use some type of media, in the citizen journalist
piece from the Globalvoices it uses images and in Citizenside it uses a
small video. In the video it shows the amount of protesters at the scene
mainly. In the BBC and the Independent only uses images.
• In the Independent the story is much more in depth discussing about
the actual event not just the protest. With the Globalvoices piece I
could not find any major news provider that has looked into the story.
• The ability to be able to distribute news on the internet is incredibly
effective due to it being instantly distributed to its target audience that is
the more technology based generations who are able to just technology
easily. Citizen journalists may also be trying to appeal to younger
people to show how the world is all around them.
