Citizen Media: Fad or the Future of News?
Knight Citizen News Network.
Available online.
"This report focuses specifically on micro-local community news sites that contain content generated by users... With limited readership and very little revenue, 73% of the respondents pronounced their sites to be a “success.’’ Why? Because they have watchdogged local government, provided news that couldn’t otherwise be had, nudged local media to improve, helped their community solve problems, even, to a degree, increased voter turnout and the number of candidates running for office."
