1. The term "citizen journalist" is to represent the fact that anyone can be a journalist these days due to the development of technology. This is because of the increase and normality of everyone owning smartphones and therefore are able to take high quality pictures and videos as well as being able to upload them onto social networking sites such as; Facebook and/or Twitter; instantly.
2. One of the first examples of news being generated by ordinary people is the Rodney King controversy which was when Rodney King was abused by L.A.P.D. officers in LA. They attacked him and abused him and put him into hospital. Most of the beating was caught on camera and therefore showed people how racist the L.A.P.D. were/are.
This caused the riots in LA due to minorities feeling unsafe as they are threatened by the police therefore they don't know who there is to protect them.
3. News as a whole can be accessed on different platforms. For example, news can be accessed through broadcast media, emedia and print media.
There are many television shows informing people about whats going on around the world in terms of news.
4. One of the main differences between professionally shot footage and that taken first-hand (UGC) is taken by an ametear otherwise known as a normal everyday passer by whereas professionally shot footage is taken by an expert and therefore is their livelihood. Also, the quality of the professional footage generally is better however with the development of smartphones, citizen journalism footage looks better than it once did.
5. The gatekeeper is the person who looks/regulates
