Another Buzzword? Jeff Jarvis schlägt vor anstelle von "Citizen Journalism" von vernetztem Journalismus zu sprechen. Der Begriff "Bürgerjournalismus" töne ihm zu sehr nach neuen Barrieren zwischen berufstätigen Journalisten und anderen Nachrichtenproduzenten. Die Aufgabe der Journalisten sieht Jarvis in Zukunft weniger im Produzieren von Nachrichten, sondern viel mehr in der Rolle als "Moderatoren":
In networked journalism, the public can get involved in a story before it is reported, contributing facts, questions, and suggestions. The journalists can rely on the public to help report the story; we’ll see more and more of that, I trust. The journalists can and should link to other work on the same story, to source material, and perhaps blog posts from the sources (see: Mark Cuban). After the story is published — online, in print, wherever — the public can continue to contribute corrections, questions, facts, and perspective … not to mention promotion via links. I hope this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as journalists realize that they are less the manufacturers of news than the moderators of conversations that get to the news.
