Jan Schaffer Question 5

If there is a distinction, what would have to happen for citizen journalism to become public journalism?

I see the content produced by many new media makers and the very act of producing that content as an act of civic participation, not an act of journalism. So if the goal of public journalism was civic participation, why would you want so-called citizen journalism to have to be intermediated, which seems to me would be the end result if it “became public journalism?”
