Citizen Journalism
Stephen: Hello, I'm Stephen. Rob: And I'm Rob. Stephen: And this is 6 Minute English! This week we’re talking about citizen journalism. Rob: Citizen journalism – that’s when people who aren’t trained journalists write or report about their experiences or use social media, like Facebook or Twitter, to broadcast their messages. Stephen: Over the last few weeks, media companies have published a large number of videos, photos, phone calls and blogs from citizen journalists in countries
where protests have been taking place, and there aren’t many – or any – traditional journalists. But as usual, I’m going to start with a question for you, Rob. Rob: OK, I’m ready. Stephen: Which of these six countries, according to figures from internet world stats, has the largest percentage of people using the internet? Rob: The largest percentage of people who use the internet. OK. Have got you any clues?
