Be a Cj - Make the difference.


I was recently going through the various news snippets on a news channel, that I caught sight of a fresh program called the "Citizen Journalist Show" on CNN-IBN. This show was strikingly different from the various conventional shows on News channels. I felt like the show almost voiced the public. The very citizens of the nation were the movers and shakers of the show.

Citizen Journalism lets the common public make themselves heard. It sort of empowers the not so influential class of the society. The best part of citizen journalism is that it provides unbiased insight into the society. Several events occur in one's neighborhood that influence one's life, but many such events go unnoticed. It happens because they appear meager in comparison to the global happenings and the media lets it unreported. However, if the various common happenings in one's own society are brought to light of the nation, then it can truly work wonders and help in ameliorating the society.

The Citizen Journalist show brought out by CNN-IBN has gained wide acclamation in no time. The idea that drives this show is very simple. Any citizen can take up the role of a journalist and put their piece of information into light. All a person needs to do in order to turn into a citizen journalist is to submit informations of their interest to the CNN-IBN. This can be easily done through the special Citizen journalist portal of CNN-IBN. The interested citizens can send in information in any form such as videos, photos and emails. The citizens can also report events within the blink of an eye by using their mobile phones. The citizens have to just catch a snap or a video of the intriguing happening. Once this is done, the video or the picture can be sent as an MMS or mail to CNN-IBN's citizen journalism wing. That's it. The intriguing happening can be made public in a jiffy.

The tagline used by CNN-IBN to canvass Citizen journalism is "Be a Citizen Journalist, Be a change". And yes, citizen journalists have brought in myriad changes to the society. Poorly ill people have obtained loads of donations from the kind-hearted people across the global, all because of Cj. Several societal problem and crimes have been closed in by plunging their accounts into the limelight. The various atrocities followed by certain greedy educational institutions have been brought to an end. In short terms, the society is being gradually cleansed and justered by Citizen Journalism. So what are you waiting for? Turn into a Cj and be the change! Make the difference to the society by contributing your share of humanity.
