网络时代的“公民新闻”
网络传播使公民成为记者变成可能,而且人们更趋主动地寻找正在发生的新闻,有时候还通过相互合作完成新闻报道。公民新闻学正是建立在这个意义上,对传统新闻传播格局产生了重大影响。 Civic journalism (also known as public journalism) is the idea of integrating journalism into the democratic process. The media not only informs the public, but it also works towards engaging citizens and creating public debate. The civic journalism movement is an attempt to abandon the notion that journalists and their audiences are spectators in political and social processes. In its place, the civic journalism movement seeks to treat readers and community members as participants. Civic journalism is a journalism model that solicits increased citizen feedback and then uses this feedback to attempt to frame public debate in ways that are reflective of people’s concerns. There are many variations to civic journalism and numerous critics. But the idea is to encourage reporters to spend more time talking to citizens and less time gazing through the same lens as pols, elites and spin doctors. |
