Joan Cornell notes that the Internet democratizes journalism that was in the hands of a few people (2003). The Internet allows the public to access information; at the same time, it creates an audience of journalists, opening blogs to publish something new on the Internet. Many news sites like The Guardian, Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC allow some impersonation. Journalism today faces challenges not only from the convergence of media and technologies, but also from the audiences they serve (Bowman and Willis 2003). For example, in the my MSN part of MSNBC, you can post news yourself. Even if the public participates in the journalistic process thanks to the Internet, it cannot be neglected by the mainstream media. Personification not only means personalized service, but also more perspectives are developed in the current event, as noted by Watts Wacker (2002). Many online media sites have been founded with different stated goals, but their emergence demonstrates that the era of we media is coming. OhmyNews International (OMNI), originating from Korea, defines itself as international journalists (OhmyNews online site). OMNI is a little different from OhmyNews because it focuses more on citizen journalism, which is more of an orientation for people to understand citizen journalism better. They see themselves as a bridge between the media and the Internet, where everyday people can participate in conversations about current events and trust the source of the information. Even if they create a platform for ordinary citizens to provide information, they must obey the rule of journalism: clearly indicate the source of the information and ensure its credibility. Besides the ordinary, curators are recruited to publish information on ...... middle of paper ...... which is unique to mainstream journalism, but can never replace it. With the emergence of citizen journalism, traditional journalism can thrive in an environment of increasing competitors and watchdog organizations. There is no denying that citizen journalism is emerging as another powerful force in the media industry. With the democratization of traditional media, interactivity and surveillance as characteristics, citizen journalism sees itself as new journalists. Citizen journalism makes the process of writing information transparent, in particular accessible to all. At present, no one can predict the place of citizen journalism in the media industry in the future, but in this changing environment where online journalism is becoming essential, citizen journalism can play an alternative role to enable the public to access information. More importantly, it encourages the audience to actively select and judge information..
