Guide with best practices on citizen journalism
In this guide, you will find 21 examples of citizen journalism done right. The guide is divided into four thematic categories: online magazines, fact-checking platforms, educational initiatives, online safety and professional support programs.
Aims of the tool
We aimed to provide a detailed analysis of each example, answering the three key questions: what makes the example great, how it is making a difference, and how it can be adopted to facilitate a deeper understanding for the reader. Discover what citizen journalism is and read about some great examples of the work of citizen journalists.
Description of the tool
Citizen journalism has become an increasingly important aspect of the media landscape in recent years. With the rise of social media and the democratization of information, more and more individuals are taking on the role of reporters, documenting events and sharing stories that might otherwise go untold. For this reason, we have set out to explore in this guide what is the crux of citizen journalism and brought forward some of its best practices from around the world. Drawing on examples from online magazines, community journalism initiatives, investigative publications, fact-checking platforms, educational initiatives, and online safety and professional support programs, we showcase 21 examples of citizen journalism done right. We have aimed to provide a detailed analysis of each example, answering the three key questions: what makes the example great, how it is making a difference, and how it can be adopted to facilitate a deeper understanding for the reader. The examples are divided into 4 categories for easier readability and better categorization. We believe that this approach will allow the readers to gain insights into the best practices of citizen journalism from around the world and apply them to their work.
