Media and journalism today undergo very deep structural and functional changes. Those changes sometimes go in the direction, that does not conduce the citizens. The effect of the transformation from the social and public mission fulfilled institution into the business institution caused the change of the policy of their acting. The media owners and the editors, to get the advertisement institutions‘ attention, have started to care more of the profits than the receivers. This resulted in a departure from the social mission of the media in favor of offering the audience an easy and enjoyable content, with the omission of the values which are crucial to the socio-cultural identity. The goal of the following paper is an attempt to answer the question if citizen media, which are nowadays beginning to compete with the mainstream media, are able to transmit and preserve the national culture and, if so, whether they do it and in what way. To verify this hypothesis, an analysis of all the articles published in 2010 on one of the oldest and currently most popular citizen journalism portals, Wiadomości24.pl, has been made. The content of all the culture-oriented materials as well as of the photographic materials have been analyzed. The conclusions from this study are as follows: 1) citizen media can provide support for religious and national media, as well as public media, in promoting the national culture, 2) the content published on the Wiadomości24.pl citizen journalism portal are varied, and the theme of the national culture plays an important part, 3) by publishing materials on national culture and socio-cultural identity, citizen media helps to preserve the values characteristic for the Polish culture, promotes attitudes that result from those values, brings to mind important events, and introduces people important to the Polish national culture.

While it has generally been accepted that non-professional media actors empowered by novel digitally networked technologies are changing the media landscape in the West, this is less obvious in the case of sub-Saharan Africa. Recent years, however, have seen the emergence of a diverse range of citizen media in Africa, enabled by technologies such as mobile phones, blogs, micro blogs, video-sharing platforms and mapping. Through in-depth and focus-group interviews with selected experts and citizen journalism practitioners, as well as a review of the existing body of research, this study aims to identify emerging patterns and trends in African citizen journalism, paying particular attention to the Zimbabwean case. The research hopes to establish the notion that digital technologyenabled citizen journalism, although still restricted to a subset of African countries, provides a powerful counter-narrative to professional media that are often constrained, or even controlled, by national governments.

Instagram is becoming an important and popular method of online communication. The interest in this new form of creating and publishing visual information has significantly risen in the wake of hurricane Sandy events in the US in October, 2012. Simultaneously, it sparked a discussion among journalists, media scholars and web users concerning Instagram’s journalistic potential, as well as, the way it blurs the boarders between citizen journalism and professional (traditional) journalism. This paper attempts to define the most important news values of this new online medium in comparison to the values of traditional media (press and television). The results show two main areas of reflection: Instagram as a news source and Instagram as a communication medium for professional journalists. This way one can describe different aspects of communication concerning the reception, selection, and creation of information.

Its beginnings journalism was based on the professionalism of people educated in this area. Now, following the technological advances, they have to take into Citizen Journalism account the activity and demands of citizen‑reporters, who are often in the right place at the right time. Citizen journalism has its roots in the Internet. For this reason active and interactive Internet users are no longer passive receivers, but have become creators and critics of information. This development has changed the relationship between the journalist and the reader. The current article synthetically presents different forms of citizen journalism. Although these forms are quite new, they have not avoided numerous critique. Specialists in this area assert that currently disinformation is much more prevalent than opinions of experts. Such situation may lead to a destruction of the whole system of traditional media and at the same time create “culture of digital narcissism, in which we ourselves will become news or information on the Internet”.

Socio-political changes in the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries in the conditions of geopolitical processes specified by the collapse of the Soviet and socialistic systems, rapid development of information-and-communication technologies have transformed information space. Contemporary Ukrainian journalism and its national information space have been established in interdependence with sociopolitical, economic, cultural-educational development of the independent Ukrainian state. Media were both a mirror and a catalyzer of the socio-political processes. Ukraine’s development in the current conditions of the military aggression and increased information threats creates a necessity to protect its national information space, to improve the system of information security and resist to information operations, and to decrease negative results of the impact of external information. Globalization of the information space and the increased scope of untrue information in the post-truth age require an expansion of the opportunities for media education, a development of critical thinking and enhancement of the level of citizens’ media literacy, their ability to counterstand manipulations both from inside and outside.

Modern technologies contribute to the dynamic changes taking place in the press communications model. One-way communication characteristic for the traditional printed word is increasingly being replaced by two-way transmission, which gradually becomes a symbol of the modern times. The variety of possibilities of reaching out to the reader enables new models of communication, previously unknown in the newspaper market, to be created. The changes also affect the role of a journalist, as well as journalistic profession, which is refl ected in the growing popularity of citizen journalism. The purpose of this article is to present an image of changes that have occurred over the years in the press communication and to attempt an identification of a modern journalist, somehow being the result of these changes. This will allow us to illustrate the difference between a traditional, certifi ed journalist and a journalist of new technologies.

Citizen journalism is frequently perceived as one of the most important developments in the media in early XXI century. However, several important issues have to be discussed in order to describe the nature of this phenomenon. One of these questions refers to the way citizen journalists cover important social and political events and debates – trying to participate in the public debate, and to shape public sphere. The most important question in this respect is: are they mostly neutral observers – or rather engaged activists? On the other hand, independently from the answer regarding mentioned question, we need to assess citizen journalists’ ability to product newsworthy, relevant stories which at the same time meet the standards of “serious” journalism (with its basic rules, as separation of facts and opinion). All these issues are analyzed in this article in context of results of research project “Training or improvisation? Citizen journalist and their journalistic education”, carried out in six European countries (United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Poland). This text concentrates on results from Poland, providing also some comparative data from other five countries. Research methods included: desk study which helped to map the field of citizen journalism and provide the most relevant examples in each country as well as semi-structured interviews with 9 (in each country, 54 in sum) practitioners in the field, representing three different types of citizen journalism.

The presented text concerns the online journalism in the local dimension. In the first part of the text the term „citizen journalism” was described, with pointing that scientists define it in many ways. There were shown such important features of citizen journalism as grassroots character or publishing the content apart form mainstream media. The analysis are based on two examples: fanpage Olsztyn Żyje and the webpage Olsztyńska24, because they are examples of trends on the Polish media market. On the one side there is typical grassroots journalism, on the other side – media corporations (mainstream media) start to run services of citizen journalism, what seems to be a denial of the idea of citizen journalism.

Przedstawiony tekst dotyczy dziennikarstwa obywatelskiego w wymiarze lokalnym. W pierwszej części tekstu omówiono termin „dziennikarstwo obywatelskie”, podkreślając, że badacze odmiennie go definiują. Wskazano na takie istotne cechy dziennikarstwa obywatelskiego, jak oddolność czy publikowanie treści niezależnie od mediów głównego nurtu. Analizie poddano dwa przykłady: fanpage Olsztyn Żyje, a także serwis internetowy Olsztyńska 24, ponieważ stanowią one odzwierciedlenie panujących na polskim rynku medialnym tendencji. Z jednej strony można obserwować typowe dla dziennikarstwa obywatelskiego działania w pełni oddolne, a z drugiej – serwisy dziennikarstwa obywatelskiego zaczynają prowadzić koncerny medialne, co wydaje się zaprzeczeniem idei oddolności.
