Citizen Journalism is a concept that advances the idea through which everyday citizens take a more active role in the news process. It is often referred to as new media and includes everything from comments on blogs and news sites to bloggers scooping stories or exposing the mainstream media reports for incorrect or incomplete reporting.

Through Citizen Journalism TV channels, websites and even newspapers carry pictures and footage of events, incidents and stories that suddenly take on life. In Pakistan there is a wealth of stories and topics that citizen journalists can plunge into and make their own.

It is precisely for this reason that Journalism Pakistan invites you to tell us your story; give us your opinion; send us the picture you so wanted the world to see; provide us with that footage that will make a difference. It’s your call. Be a journalist from your home, from your office… in your spare time. Become a Citizen JPiator and check in with your story through JP’s “Report your news” or “Tip us off” features. Make a difference.
