Politics/Citizen Journalsim Framing Questions

1) How exactly does citizen journalism not only to pertain to online media? What are some examples?

2) When does one cross the line from being a citizen journalist to a professional journalist? The reading says an example of citizen journalism is blogging, but nowadays you find nearly every professional journalist with their own blog. Where’s the boundary and what makes someone a citizen or professional?

3) Citizen journalism is given lots of credit for being transparent, but is it always? Isn’t transparency impossible since every writer has personal motives (to some degree)?
