Study says: citizen ‘journalism’ not yet a threat

29 May, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

Missing the point:

The good news for the professional news industry is that the researchers found citizen journalism websites (news and blog sites) are presently not viable substitutes for daily newspaper sites. Only 25 % of the amateur sites published on a daily basis. Even if they do have daily postings, they tended to have significantly fewer news items, which the study attributes to the inherent budgetary constraints of most models of citizen journalism that have surfaced thus far.

Heavy sigh.
