Citizen Journalism

Some might argue that citizen journalism maybe inaccurate because untrained people are publishing news very quickly and usually without an editor, which makes their news not authentic and reliable enough. They believe that amateur bloggers can't decide what actually “news“is and what is not and that they are affecting business negatively. Others claim that although it's not "professional" enough it does communicate news and has an important impact. Moreover, they believe that it's a normal growth of development for the news media in the past and it has the ability to record what news media doesn't.

Do you think that citizen journalism is a good way to report news? Can it substitute traditional news media?
