Difference between civic and citizen journalism.
- civic journalism is when a real journalist goes and become part of the situation/event they are covering. Like ... a journalist stationed with the troops in Afghanistan.
- citizen journalism is when an amature writes/blogs shares they experiences with whatever news happens to ah ... happen. So, a person living in a war-zone reported on the days events.

How wiki's are changing the way we gather information:
- I suppose they're giving us more information that before, because there are so many contributers. But not all the info can get correct all the time. Because there is such a large number of people contributing to wiki's there's also a lot of different interests and opinions being shared, so there's lots of variety of info. You also (perhaps) get a chance to see one topic from a different angle, completely unlike the views of people in your immediate surroundings. (People from a different part of the world perhaps see things differently than we do here in Canada...)
