Traditional media outlets, while still vital, are no longer the sole gatekeepers of information. The rise of digital technologies, particularly the internet and mobile devices, has empowered ordinary citizens to play an active role in reporting, analysing, and disseminating news. This phenomenon is known as citizen journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This module aims to introduce students to the concept of citizen journalism, exploring its definitions, historical context, key characteristics, benefits, challenges, and its impact on contemporary society and traditional media. By understanding citizen journalism, students will develop critical media literacy skills, enabling them to navigate the complex information landscape and become informed and responsible participants in the global dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<!-- wp:themify-builder\/canvas \/-->\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/citizenchannels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/My-Project-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citizenchannels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/My-Project-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/citizenchannels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/My-Project-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/citizenchannels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/My-Project-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/citizenchannels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/My-Project-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/citizenchannels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/My-Project.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizen Journalism for the masses by the masses.
