A citizen journalist is an interesting concept and one more readily seen in today's media. I personally first noticed this trend at first around September 11th. This was mostly due to the fact that there were just so many people there all with cellphones and video cameras documenting the chaos and tragedy of that day.
The idea of a citizen journalist has continued to be a popular source of information for people looking for a more independent take on the events of the world. To most it's better to go to someone with little to no bias. With a lot of the mainstream media they become biased to a certain political party, movement, religion, or any other thing based upon the station they work for. In the realm of blogging this isn't much of a concern.
Obviously everyone has their own opinions and bias, but it's nice sometimes to read a report of something where the only bias is that of the author and not of the corporate shadow looming above.
