Global Journalism
Global journalism seeks to explore and communicate how the economic, political, social, and ecological events that occur in different parts of the world are connected, and that commonalities do exist outside national boundaries.

Global Journalism has been produced out of the increasingly interconnected and interdependent world resulting from globalization. Globalization has exposed the existence of complex relations between different social realities world-wide, therefore, global journalism is a news style which investigates these relations and contextualizes them within everyday life.

A global outlook places global events within the context of a global social reality, as opposed to a domestic or foreign outlook, which places stories in the context of individual nation states. This means that global journalism addresses news audiences as members of a single global population rather than segmented populations connected to nation states. It achieves this mode of address by always framing stories within a global context when selecting the mode of explanation, angle chosen, and sources.

It must cultivate a transnational culture of news which integrates seemingly independent events and relates them to all peoples and places on a daily basis, because globalization is a daily process.

Citizen Journalism
The underlying principle of citizen journalism is that ordinary people, not professional journalists, could be the main creators and distributors or news.

Citizen journalism was made more feasible by the development of various online internet platforms.

Being that Citizen journalism is yet to develop a conceptual framework and guiding principles, it can be heavily opinionated and very subjective, making it more supplemental than primary in terms of forming public opinion.

Furthermore, Citizen journalists, due to their lack of professional affiliation, are thought to lack resources as well as focus on how best to serve the public.
