and even now media are becoming more and more interested in the stories the bloggers. popularize and i think that's the way it will be going in the near future one of the observations that people make though is that blogs tend to be from a first person perspective it's something that a person seems or a person believes to be the case but they don't always check their facts and that is not a problem do you think that sometimes they just put information you know that's not about why not that is another problem that this is this is our job as media people we are here to verify the facts you know sometime before like in the twentieth century there are all of the media has been both to report to cover the events to give interpretation to the events and to verify the you know the facts and now are always switching. to a less traditional role we are more like ed it's ours bloggers are reporters but they don't they don't verify their facts and when they give interpretation to the events sometimes there is a kneejerk reaction like they don't really know what's happening but the

if you're a blogger and you carve out a niche, i expect you to be on top of that niche, and so there's things that they do that may be different from how professionals work, but over time, they earn trust. >> and as with professional journalists, there are all kinds of citizen journalists, all gradations--good, bad, and otherwise--and so people may have a stereotype of citizen journalists, the image of some lone, obsessive, pajama-clad blogger going at it in the basement all day and all night. but blogging is just one of many tools. sonya gavankar is gonna show us now a few ways that people are using these citizen journalism tools. sonya? >> frank, anyone can be a publisher these days, and many communities are starting their own citizen journalism sites. i have one example for you here, and it's a new voices winner. it's the "appalachian independent" in frostburg, maryland. they call it "the dialogue of democracy." they are very clear about what their mission is. they are citizen journalists giving a voice to a diverse appalachian community. and one thing that i really like are their s
