Civic Journalism and Civilian Journalism

Civic journalism is when a professional journalist writes about their experience. For example they could write about the war in Iraq that they are in the midst of or even witnessing a fire. Well I'm not sure on the last one but I remember Jill talking about a journalists and the war in Iraq. Civic journalism is a professional writing about their experience.

Civilian journalism is when a civilian can write about things that have happened to them or about the things that are going on around them. For example hurricane Katrina was a devastation to everyone in that area. The people that were there or have homes there can write about the tragedy they have been through to let other know what it must have been like. Another example would the twin tower and the tragedy with that. Civilian journalism is a citizen writing about their experience.

The wiki is changing the way we are getting information now a days or even giving out information. All you have to do is go to the wikipedia site and type in what you are searching for and a tun of results show up for you. I think it is great that you can change or add to the information in case the info is wrong or missing stuff. With so many people giving out the knowledge that they have about important dates. There is bound to be some errors in the information that is given but that can be fixed by someone who knows the correct info. Most of the time we can count on wiki to give us the correct information that we asked for.
