Differences Between Citizen Journalists and Professional Journalists in South Sudan
Citizen journalists are individuals from the community who engage in collecting, reporting, and disseminating news without formal training or affiliation with mainstream media organisations. Motivation: They often participate in citizen journalism as a response to perceived shortcomings in traditional journalism and driven by different objectives and ideals. Tools: Citizen journalists rely on personal devices like smartphones, social media platforms, and online tools to share news and information. Regulation: Generally unregulated, leading to varying quality and coverage levels. Resources: Lack professional resources and may not have the same level of training or experience as professional journalists. Subjectivity: Can be more opinionated and subjective due to the absence of traditional journalistic standards.

Professional Journalists: Training: Professional journalists typically undergo formal education and training in journalism practices, ethics, and standards. Employment: They work for established media organisations like newspapers, TV stations, or online news outlets. Ethics: Adhere to industry standards of accuracy, fairness, objectivity, and verification in reporting. Resources: Have access to institutional support, editorial oversight, legal guidance, and other professional resources. Accountability: Held accountable by their employers, industry regulations, codes of conduct, and journalistic ethics. Aweilian Boy (talk) 08:21, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
