“…Consequently, previous research on user participatory practices in relation to online newspapers is somewhat ambiguous, providing scarce understanding of the actual uses of participatory features. Findings from an audience survey—such as the one presented here—will offer a more nuanced perspective on this research area, going beyond the potential role of user participation (Manosevitch & Tenenboim, 2016) or broad overviews of what features online newspapers are offering to their users (Stroud et al, 2016).…”

This paper utilizes a nationally representative survey to gauge the ways in which media users engage with their local newspapers by using features that allow for sharing, liking, and commenting. The main results indicate that significant predictors for different types of news engagement vary, but that age and education emerge as two of the more interesting varieties. Implications are discussed—for instance, how both psychological and behavioral experiences constitute the concept engagement and how our results challenge the technology-optimistic argument that social media presence on a newspaper website promotes audience engagement in the journalistic process.

“…The interpretation stage was the most open to audience participation: Users were encouraged to have their say on the news, particularly by posting comments. Overall, while user participation within news websites can play important journalistic, business, and democratic roles (Manosevitch and Tenenboim, 2017), journalists have struggled to reconcile a tension between professional control and open participation (Lewis, 2012).…”

By engaging with journalists in the networked media environment, audiences can play a role in shaping the epistemologies of journalism: how journalists know what they know, and communicate knowledge claims. While audiences have been offered opportunities to engage in news-production processes, ongoing reciprocal relationships between journalists and audiences online are rare. This study shows how sustained reciprocity takes place in a large-scale WhatsApp group opened by an Israeli journalist/blogger for her audience. Based on an analysis of group conversations, blog posts, and interviews, we demonstrate how a continuous conversation between the journalist and her loyal audience members allows the co-construction of journalistic knowledge across the news-production process. The online space that affords ongoing reciprocal exchanges is termed here a meso news-space, occurring between the private and public realms. This study contributes to understanding how sustained reciprocity can be accomplished and how it can promote shared benefits for journalists and community members.

“…The gatekeeping theory explains the process of information dissemination as a system which filters the information generating and determines which piece of information should be exposed to the general audience. Therefore, gatekeeping prescribe requires individuals and channels of communication to possess systems which determines what information should be provided to the general public (Onyango, 2013;Manosevitch & Tenenboim, 2016). The gatekeeping theory and its implications require the management of the communication and information dissemination system to continually filter the information they are airing, keeping in view the standards of the organisation or the society.…”

“…In the contemporary media industry, the term citizen journalist refers to citizens who are not employed by the news agency but contribute with the help of videos and images to report an event. In this context, it could be argued that citizen journalists are those who report on different issues confronting them and the general society, to highlight the importance of resolving those issues (Manosevitch & Tenenboim, 2016). The citizen journalists are not trained professionals and are considered as an amateur resource of the news agency.…”

Journalism has gone through some major radical changes in the past century. This has been reflected by the practise of citizenship based journalism. This literature review analyses the concept of citizen journalism. This also explores the ethical responsibilities which are tied into digital platform publishing. It observes what gaps exist in citizen journalism and what future concepts should be explored and expanded upon. This has been done through the use of scholarly articles which pertain to the issue and provide meaningful insight into the many different themes. These themes highlight the commonalities which the scholars have observed in their investigative endeavours. Where gaps in the literature where present, they were noted and higlighed to asssit future shcolars in their own research endeavours. The future direction for research in investigative journalism is explored. This presents the projection that the overall concept could take in the future, potentially replacing mainstream newssite with locally sourced journalism that is more involved and intimate. The conclusion presents the gist of the information which can be gleaned from what is presented in the paper. This creates both a summraisation of the information as well as create a synthesis of the arguments presented in the paper to increase organisation of information and increase comprehensibility.
