Citizen Journalism- the Fate of News as We Know It?

CNN reports that it has created a website where viewers can send in video and audio clips related to breaking news. How will citizen journalists change current newscasts and how does ShoZu fit in? Well, similar to the way MTV Flux will change the way people think about the relationship between television channels and those currently called 'viewers', I think there will be rapid change when ShoZu becomes the ubiquitous means to view and contribute to news from the mobile device. ShoZu already supports sending photos, video clips and text to sites such as CNN News, BBC News, Scoopt and others. The idealist might argue that ShoZu facilitating the news industry will change news to become for the people, and about the people. Citizens and professionals alike can send quality content to the news desk instantly and directly from the source of the news.
