Practical 7 Reflection

Today we have a class test, the question are rather tough and tricky, thanks to my luck i manage to get a decent grade. After the test, we learn about citizen journalism. Citizen journalism is that normal people like you and i gets to post and update news and topics on the net. It is very successful in countries all over the world. However, i personally dislike the way singaporeans do citizen journalism. I think that singaporeans are using citizen journalism as a gossip corner, its like for coffee shop talk purpose.

We evaluated the website STOMP in our groups. I believe that STOMP meets the criteria of a citizen journalism website. It does sharing, allowing people to post and contribute photos and news. However, i think that most of the news are entertainment and gossip news there. It is indeed interesting to go and read up when we are bored, but in terms of true content, i still think traditional journalism is better.
