Citizen Journalists make your own TV news
Channel 4 and ITN have joined together to offer viewers the chance to develop their own ‘citizen journalism’. Breaking the News – developed by indie producer Illumina Digital - enables viewers to produce their own news stories through an online initiative designed to improve media literacy.
ITN will provide images that users can then edit to compile their own packages. The new website can be found at www.channel4.com/breakingthenews and will also offer master classes with ITN journalists as well as a course in broadcast news.
