What is Citizen Journalism?
Citizen journalism is where media consumers are making themselves heard by reporting on their own news stories through various ways such as pictures from mobile phones or posting blogs.
What vision of the future did the Googlezon video present?
Googlezon is a fictional company created in the future when Google merges with Amazon. Google will create a 'Google Grid' which has an unlimited amount of storage space and bandwidth so any kind of media can be shared. Along with Amazon, Googlezon aim to take over from Microsoft and become the biggest internet news cast. Googlezon wins this so called battle and releases EPIC (Evolving Personalized Information Construct) which puts the fourth estate out of buisiness.
What could be the advantages and disadvantages for us as consumers?
Consumers would have a very personalised news agenda, so any type of media can be published as it is the consumer broadcasting what they want. There will be a lot of bias and the news will be based mainly on opinion rather than fact. The fourth estate will go out of business, therefore leaving journalists with no place in the media and no job.
