Quoting Elon Musk:

"As Twitter pursues the goal of elevating citizen journalism, media elite will try everything to stop that from happening."

My definition of citizen journalism— 14 years ago:

"When the people formerly known as the audience employ the press tools they have in their possession to inform one another, that’s citizen journalism."

I still like that definition.

But: that citizen journalism can or should replace the professional kind is a crazy claim.
