Citizen Journalism is the act of citizens (people in the community) playing an active role in the process of collecting news and information. In other words, they are publishing content, traditionally exclusively done by journalists, such as news and other information, themselves. So how much can we trust them? Let’s debate.

A question of credibility and quality comes into consideration here, because citizen journalism, like the name suggests, is produced and published by the public. I found this problem which sums up the whole case quite nicely. The quality of any citizen journalism project reflects the contributions of those who choose to participate, and such projects can be havens for triviality or unreliable content. At the same time, many users are inclined to trust material they find online, particularly if it is called “news.” In this way, citizen journalism projects have the potential to implicitly validate content that might be inaccurate, offensive, or otherwise lack credibility.

Citizen Journalism has more of positives than negatives. I feel it's really up to the consumer to decide if what they are seeing has quality and credibility. It really also depends on the point of view you are wanting to take if you think something is right or wrong. In my opinion, I like Wikipedia for a way to get started on finding more credible information. I suppose in this way it does have some credibility. To add to the point, no one can even guarantee the writings of the experts so why to raise that issue here
