The citizen journalism revolution

A comment on my blog reads: All journalists are people, but not all people are journalists.  With the advent of the internet and other technologies, like cellphone cameras, now anyone can become a journalist in the sense of reporting on events. Check out this video, in which Chris Hogg and David Silverberg from DigitalJournal.com explain the citizen journalism revolution.  Also go check out the North-Korean site http://english.ohmynews.com/  which is a great example of citizen journalism.
