Modern technologies have made it possible for ordinary people to act as journalists.
Greater access to inexpensive devices and the internet allows individuals to collect, record, investigate, and broadcast their own news events. These individuals are called “Citizen Journalist”, according to our previous class lecture. Their goal is to escape the “bias-media” and provide accurate, independent, and dependable information that our society needs. The perfect example of citizen journalist is Julian Sanchez.
According to his website, JULIANSANCHEZ.COM, Mr. Sanchez is a writer and journalist, living in the Washington, D.C. area. He regularly writes on technology, privacy, and sexual politics. Sanchez is a frequent contributor to the technology websites Techdirt and Ars Technica, and a writer for The Economist’s U.S. politics blog, Democracy in America. He is also a “contributing editor for Reason magazine”. Sanchez is a graduate of New York University, where he obtained a degree in philosophy and political science.
