I check Yahoo! news every day and chuckle when I see a story that I already caught on Imgur, an image uploading site. Consider it an Image only version of Reddit.
People from all over the globe can upload images… immediately. Especially, eye witnesses.
The argument has been whether everyone is a journalist or reporter now that we can Tweet, take pictures, and upload videos of what will (when “legitimate” reporters get on the scene) be breaking news.
Now, NBC News is working to purchase Stringwire. A video sharing service that will allow users to stream videos directly to NBC News.
Let the conversation continue. Are we all citizen journalists? Deserving the same respect of a paid journalist?
