What is Journalism?

Journalism, more specifically citizen journalism is the ability of citizens to broadcast what is occurring around them. Citizen journalists are able to share current events as they happen to a larger platform of people awaiting what they have to give them. In a world of 21st century technology along with citizen journalism people are able to obtain news as it is happening. The difference between journalists and citizen journalists, are that those that have the title of journalist compile information from many different sources to create a solid refined review of what they believe has happened, while citizen journalists more or less broadcast the raw events to let the general masses of people understand the basis of what happened and form their opinion.
