CITIZEN AND COMMUNITY JOURNALISM : BY DEEPAK KUMAR (HARDCOVER)

Citizen journalism should not be confused with community journalism or civic journalism, which are practiced by professional journalists, or collaborative journalism, which is practiced by professional and nonprofessional journalists working together. Many traditional journalists view citizen journalism with some skepticism, believing that only trained journalists can understand the exactitude and ethics involved in reporting news. Community journalism is locally oriented, professional news coverage that typically focuses on city neighbourhoods, individual suburbs or small towns, rather than metropolitan, state, national or world news. If it covers wider topics, community concentrates on their effect on local readers. This book will quench the thirst of knowledge in the field of citizen and community journalism is the sincere hope of the editor. About the Author Deepak Kumar , did his B.Com.
