(四) 討論題

According to today's audio clip, anyone can be a reporter.

In fact, almost every person I know uses a kind of social media, owns a camera ( or at least a phone with a built-in camera ), and has access to the internet.

Combine the three and you may get a story or video that can quickly become viral and get noticed worldwide.

Is citizen journalism good or bad ?

I personally think that it's a good thing, but I also think that people need to be educated.

Writers should be educated about the power of words and how they can make or break a person.

Readers should be taught how to analyze all the information they get.
