John C Abell, 5 Nov, 2008 :There are plenty of people who really don’t like the term “citizen journalism,” but Todd Wolfson has a pretty interesting reason of his own for his displeasure with that appellation: plenty of the people he is training to make video reports for the Internet aren’t citizens at all — at least of the United States.In fact, some aren’t even legal residents. "I-Just-Happen- To-Live-Here Journalism"? No.
“We prefer the term ‘community journalism,’” Wolfson, one of the organizers of the Media Mobilizing Project in Philadelphia, tells the New York Times. The group teaches inner city residents video production in a program funded by a $150,000 news challenge grant from the Knight Foundation.
