Participatory journalism is a bottom-up, emergent phenomenon in which there is little or no editorial oversight or formal journalistic work-flow dictating the decisions of a staff. Instead, it is the result of many simultaneous, distributed conversations that either blossom or quickly atrophy in the Web’s social network.
Will mainstream media willing to relinquish some control and actively collaborate with their audiences? Or will an informed and empowered consumer begin to frame the news agenda from the grassroots?
Even this blog is considered peer to peer journalism. In fact it is even published to on line news outlets like Google reader, Digg, and others that I may not even know about. Even you the reader can scroll down to the bottom of this Blog site, click subscribe and be regularly updated on your Google reader or home page. Blogger life is the new news media.
