Professional journalists are only able to do so much. There are a limited number of such people in the world whose job in life it is to cover news and events. Therefore, it is imperative to rely on ordinary residents to contribute to the news.
Especially in today’s age with advancements in technology, it is too easy for citizens to become journalists to not take advantage of what cell phones and laptops are capable of doing. Since for the most part they own such technology, citizen journalists are just as important to the world as professional ones. As professional journalists are only able to be in one place at what time, the use of citizens as journalists can only help in covering the mass amount of information necessary for global awareness.
