Be given the motto "Every Citizen is a Reporter" has its pros and cons. It can be use properly or can be manipulated into the other person’s benefit. This tends to make the news invalid at times, for they will somewhat turn out to be re-written by other people who can be the 2nd or 3rd hand receiver of that particular news. As for a true written news, it is being delivered and written by journalist who are credible to give out news information to the mass people and who are the 1st hand and actual receiver of the news. Also, who aspires for the soul purpose of getting news and delivering it to the people so they can be informed with current events, it is their job and they get paid to give out credible news that is suppported with true facts.
People who have not undergone any professional training in journalism, I think, they cannot be totally credible to give out news because there’s a great possiblilty that they might be writing news or giving out information because they have a vestedd interest in that particular news, that is why it is sometimes hard to totally trust their work. Unlike professional journalists who studied and earn their position, who know how to deliver news, get news stories, who are aware of the ethics, laws and all other needed rules for giving out news. We should also remember that journalists are very careful as to how they report because their credibility is at stake when they are giving out news stories and on how they inform the mass people.
