Almost every mainstream media outlet are now encouraging the public to send in photos and videos of news events that happen in their locality. In the Philippines, ABS-CBN was a major purveyor with its "Boto Mo, Ipatrol Mo" campaign in the last local elections. YouTube has also joined the fray.
YouTube launched a new CitizenNews channel where they’ll be highlighting news content submitted on to YouTube by citizen journalists.
Unlike traditional media though where the probability of getting your citizen news story accepted are fairly low, this is not the case with YouTube. And if your channel is exemplary in the eye of YouTube's editors, it may even promote it to a larger audience.
