Citizen Journalism-My Tram Experience



In this video Matthew and I discuss the citizen journalism aspect of the controversial viral video; 'My Tram Experience', whether it has had a positive or negative impact, and how much this citizen journalism is a tool of democracy in the new age. Citizen journalism refers to the idea that in the 'We media' age, anyone can record and upload footage of anything, whereas in the past the traditional media powers (e.g newspapers, broadcasters) were in control of what we were exposed to and what was censored from the population's viewing.
