Why Citizen Journalists Are Important?

A Citizen Journalist's role carries huge social responsibility which can be a difficult and selfless task, especially if the journalist is reporting events that inflame political tensions. Right now, the whole world is going through a tough time due to Coronavirus/Covid-19 Pandemic. It's difficult and dangerous to be outside for reporting. At the same time, we have seen governments and healthcare systems all over the world failing to tackle this situation. Citizen Journalists are the key influencers who can provide us the right information to fight the unreasonable suppression of media by the governments to cover up their failures. Truth is more important than ever so that citizens will start raising the issues that matter. ---

What is Citizen Journalism?

***In order to be a 3CJ (a 3speak Citizen Journalist)*** one should be willing to film local political events in an unbiased way. A 3CJ should do everything they can to capture a story from both sides, and ask questions from each party involved, without putting a bias on the event. > "Citizen journalism refers to the reporting of news events by members of the public using the Internet to spread the information. Citizen journalism can be a simple reporting of facts and news that is largely ignored by large media companies. It is easily spread through personal websites, blogs, microblogs, social media and so on. Some types of citizen journalism also act as a check on the reporting of larger news outlets by providing alternative analysis." ***Source:*** https://www.techopedia.com/definition/2386/citizen-journalism **If you are interested and eligible as per above requirements, please feel free to start publishing directly on [3Speak](https://3speak.online/). If you refer a citizen journalist to 3Speak, you can earn a handsome share of rewards as well.** ---
