 "D ifferentiate citizen journalism and community journalism in only 6-10 sentences. no need to cite references and it has to be originally written by you." In the context of citizen journalism, the citizens plays an active part in partaking in disseminating of news. The only requirement for such is a mobile phone with a camera and an internet access. Sometimes there is little standard that they follow and are subject to scrutiny by professional media practitioners. Yet despite the scrutiny they face, they are an important asset in ensuring news gets attention by the media by providing a scoop.

 1. Differentiate citizen journalism and community journalism in only 6-10 sentences.       Citizen journalism is way more easier to do than community journalism. In citizen journalism, you will just record an event and publish it. While in community journalism, you must conduct research and observe the problem of a specific community to help them address it and solve it by establishing awareness among the public. Furthermore, in citizen journalism there is no in-depth discussion about a certain issue. However, it can help journalists to write a story discussing the circumstance that a citizen journalist posted.       To conclude, both of them are important in practicing journalism since they are both helpful in establishing consciousness among people. 2. Choose a unique local issue which you think can be resolved by community journalism and why. Explain in 6-10 sentences.       The unique local issue that I think can be r...

Differentiate citizen journalism and community journalism in only 6-10 sentences. Writing this knowledge about the difference between citizen journalism and community journalism, all come from the two-years of my journey taking this Journalism college degree.  As for me, citizen journalism is a type of Journalism, where contributors or what we called, non-professional journalists are using their online platforms to publish and disseminate a straight news story about a current event in order to be publicly known. O n the contrary, community journalism is another type of Journalism, where professional journalists are designated in a community of concerned to stay, live with, for the journalists to have a first-hand experience, and to create stories with different angles about the everyday struggles and dilemma of those people who are neglected, underrepresented, and those who remain in shadows who cannot speak for themselve s. Choose a unique local issue which you think can be resolv...

In a Facebook post made last March 6, Filipino artist Cana showcases a well-made 3D sword replica from the hit gacha RPG Genshin Impact .  The technology behind these beautiful art pieces is the 3D printing process where Computer-Aided Designs (CAD) or digital models are made of material typically molded layer by layer.

The execution of every piece is carefully deliberated before Cana proceeds with the production part.   In the production, the concept...
