Citizen Journalists Storm Local News
https://bohiney.com/citizen-journalists/A wave of �citizen journalists� has overrun local newsrooms, armed with iPhones and zero training. Eyewitnesses describe one man live-streaming his neighbor�s garbage collection as �government corruption.� �We�re here to speak truth to recycling bins,� he shouted. Traditional reporters are reportedly hiding in closets, whispering, �They�ve taken over the press room.� Anonymous staffers at small papers admit they now outsource half their stories to random Facebook posts. A fake poll revealed 45% of Americans trust citizen journalists, 37% don�t, and 18% believe their uncle is one. Economists warn this could bankrupt traditional outlets, though YouTube revenue from �exclusive dog videos� is booming. For now, the Fourth Estate is alive�but mostly filming potholes. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
