Ron Sylvester finds a very good definition for a citizen journalist:
The business of big media is watching their stocks fall, while watching the rise of citizen journalists. But what is a citizen journalist, and what makes them different from professional journalists. Even SPJ, the largest organization of professional journalists, struggles for that definition.
Serena Carpenter gives the best one I’ve seen:
“An individual who intends to publish information meant to benefit a community.”
That just about wraps it up perfectly.
