| Summary: | The relevance of participatory – or collaborative – journalism is analysed and questioned by the author, through the case study of Citizenside, a young professional photo agency in which Agence France-Presse holds a 34% stake. This agency collects the images of online contributors and helps sell them to mainstream media for a percentage. The main challenge is to check and double-check the content. Beyond new practices, new procedures and tools (metadata, geolocation and community management), observation reveals the application of fundamental basics of journalism, which are ancient: the use of different sources, indepth investigation and delayed publishing in case of dubious images. The model is also of interest because of the progress of the contributors’ skills. Thus, they can no longer be called ‘amateurs’. The collaboration of the different actors in this new circuit of news therefore benefits all of them. Will this new media trend, still rather small, expand? What challenges would such growth raise? |
