CBS’s Public Eye Sets Sight on Citizen Journalism
In a Public Eye post at CBS it wrings its hands over the opportunities and concerns that citizen journalism poses. Key line might be:
As…traditional outlets take their baby steps towards integrating citizen journalism it will be interesting to see how much ground they are willing to seed to the non-professionals and how much the non-professionals want to have to do with the traditional news outlets in the first place.
And then in its public comments section introduction, it disinfects the process by writing:
Now you’re in the public comment zone. What follows is not CBS News stuff; it comes from other people and we don’t vouch for it.
The introduction to Public Eye says:
Public Eyes fundamental mission is to bring transparency to the editorial operations of CBS News transparency that is unprecedented for broadcast and online journalism.
Here is what Jay Rosen and his audience have been saying about this new CBS venture.
