Topic 2 Practical 7 Blog Reflection on Citizen Journalism.

Sorry For not updating my blog this few weeks Readers, been busy with other school projects. I promise to update my blog weekly from now on ok  :]

Last Week EIR was on Citizen Journalism
I believe Citizen Journalism  is a Great Way for People to Share their opinions on certain news. It is always interesting to know about other people opinions as their views differ. Citizen Journalism also allow people to j share news from anywhere. This is great as news reporters may not be always first on the scene.,with the help of Citizen Journalism. news that might not appear on the newspaper or TV can be shared online. Students Who participates in Citizen Journalism will be able to interact with the community and will allow them to view the other articles that are posted by the community. The students can also share their own article online and be prepared to received feedback from the community.Students will then learn not to be biased and respect other people views on their article.With time Students will improve on their media literacy skills and be able to earn the community trust.

In class We were task to form a group and Evaluate Stomp. We evaluate Stomp Bases on Purpose,Coverage,Authority,Accuracy and Currency. I find this Activity more engaging as its a group effort. It allows me to interact with my classmates as well as discuss and make decision as a group. After that we Present our findings to the Class. As expected Different Groups have their own opinion, this activity has help me learn about other people views and perspective.

I  will share my evaluation on Stomp Accuracy and Currency  . Based on my experience using stomp. Most of their news are very current. Almost everyday there will be post on different happenings in Singapore. On their Accuracy, Stomp is known for its '"interesting news" anybody can post on the Website this makes me Question on their credibility. Lets face it anybody who signed up as a member on the site can post their own news. And with no links to support their claims how can i believe the news is real. Pictures can be Digitally altered with Software nowadays. So After reviewing my evaluation. I cant just trust any news online i need to make my own research to and ensure their credibility.

Creating My Own Stomp Based on My Topic Ethical Implication Of Cloning.
First Any news Posted on my Stomp  will need to have an option for the Citizen Journalist to add their references. This reference Would help them to Support their news article credibility. With references other user using my stomp can find out where the posters get their sources from. Encouraging my Community to do their own research before trusting the posters Article. Discussion Forum is a must as it allows my users to debate on the Current news on cloning. I would also include A brief History on cloning for new users to learn. With a Discussion Forum  I will need to choose some moderators to help me monitor the Forum and edit some comments.Lastly My Stomp would be Mobile Friendly as with the current technology more people are accessing the web on their mobile. This would enable my users to post on the fly....
