Doug McGill writes about his experience as a mainstream journalist working outside the newsroom and along with other journalists and meeting up with citizen journalists all of whom are “reading and writing blogs, making podcasts, and experimenting in video and other online media.” “It's time,” he says, “to renegotiate the relationship between journalist and citizen, and for both sides to learn a lot from each other.” (Source: Doug McGill in The Daily Planet)
