WikiLeaks and the Craft of Journalism
As Wikileaks continues to feed media outlets with thousands of classified US diplomatic cables, how serious is the threat by WikiLeaks to other media outlets? And how is WikiLeaks shaping the media industry? Is it the beginning of a new media form?
Video - Yellow Journalism: Origins and Definition
Yellow journalism - a type of journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers. Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst were American newspaper publishers who used melodrama, romance, and hyperbole to sell millions of newspapers; a style that became known as yellow journalism.

New York Times to Launch Local Citizen Journalism Sites
New York Times to Launch Local Citizen Journalism Sites
By Joe Strupp

The New York Times is joining the growing world of local "citizen journalism" with two Web sites launching Monday focused on five specific communities in New Jersey and Brooklyn, N.Y.
"The Local" will appear on the Times' Web pages with sites dedicated to three communities in New Jersey -- Maplewood, South Orange and Millburn -- and two Brooklyn neighborhoods, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
Most of the contributions will come from local residents, with a Times staffer overseeing each site.
"They have each recruited initial contributors and the mission of their sites will be to encourage and instigate people in their communities to do their own reporting and contribute their own creativity to the community we are trying to build online," said Jim Schachter, Times editor/digital initiatives.

Citizen Journalists First on the Ground For Continental Crash
Citizen Journalists First on the Ground For Continental Crash
Source: http://www.mediabistro.com/webnewser
Some of the first reports of last night's crash of Continental flight 3407 did not come from news crews, but from eyewitness reports — these days called citizen journalism. TVNewser reveals when the news networks reported the crash, but it's how they reported it that makes this news.
In Breaking News 101 you are taught to open up the phone lines. It's the best way to get reports from the ground. But with more video-enabled cell phone and mini video cameras, and the ease of uploading those video to the Web, getting video from a breaking news story is almost as quick as calling it in.
In the early stages of its coverage, MSNBC used YouTube clips from witnesses to tell the story.
As the story continued into the morning, CNN relied on iReports. CNN tells us that as of 1pmET they had received 63 iReports, 12 were approved for use.
One of the iReporters - Anthony Trigilio - was on the air with Anderson Cooper during the overnight hours. WGRZ also used Skype to transmit some of the first images. WGRZ's coverage was then picked up by CNN allowing the rest of the U.S. to see some of the first video from the crash.
