What is citizen journalism you ask? I could explain it to you, but I think I’ll let the Project Documentary Class at Cambridge Community Television in Cambridge, Mass. tell you via their really excellent film “Citizen Journalism, from Pamphlet to Blog.”
Before going to law school, I was a reporter at several major market newspapers and news organizations. My colleagues and I all thought we were oh so professional and we were arrogant enough to beleive we were the only people fit to put anything into print.
I stand before you now and tell you everyobdy is fit to put everything into print.

I agree with you 100 percent that everybody is fit to put everything into print. Journalists are not part of a relgious order, they do not have any formal education repuirements, or certifications. In fact, there would not be a free press if jounalists needed some kind of certification.
