The concept of citizen journalism is based upon public citizens “playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing, and disseminating news and information”.
New media technology, such as social networking and media-sharing websites, in addition to the increasing prevalence of smartphones, have made citizen journalism more accessible to people worldwide. Due to the availability of technology, citizens can often report breaking news more quickly than traditional media reporters.
Citizen TV is the internet and mobile application platform for both citizen media and user generated content.
Citizen TV’s slogan “YOU REPORT YOUR WORLD” is a declaration of commitment to the primary objective of Citizen TV- that of being true to all that Citizen Journalism is.
