Good Journalism and Citizenship

Today, the world is crowded. The news is going around us, and the only source of information that can be used as a filter between chaos and ourselves is the media. Media, especially journalists, must take responsibility a lot when acting as such a filtering device between order and disorder. But this is the only thing journalism did: to know the news. No, that's not all. With the help of citizens, good journalism is creating a wise republic full of citizens who will fully understand the events crossing their lives.

According to Vincent Campbell, citizenship theory is divided into two core groups. People who view the news as citizens and people who regard the news as citizens. The classic citizenship model is the foundation of two civic theories. The classic model is based on knowledgeable civic ideology, emphasizing the role of journalists rather than the role of citizens. For classical models, information is provided when the role of journalists in providing information to citizens, when citizens often worry about the news they offer, there is a high possibility that knowledgeable citizens will participate. The country is likely to become democracy

The first characteristic is that the role of journalism is to inform citizens that journalism is a theory that it will be useful to citizens. One of the main problems of the first theory is that there should be prescriptive judgments about the quantity and nature of the information that citizens should have and the relationship between them. One department of citizen journalism is "citizenship to supervise" created by Michael Schudson. "Supervising Citizens" advises citizens to select appropriate news and information to be consumed strategically. "Overseeing citizens" and other forms of this ideology treat individuals as people who use information to make change and civic character. However, the generation of such information does not mean citizenship, but means news behavior.
