Participatory journalism

Participatory journalism is a style of reporting where everyday people actively engage in creating news content, sharing their experiences, insights, or evidence directly with the audience. Unlike traditional journalism, which relies primarily on professional journalists, participatory journalism encourages public involvement through social media, comments, videos, or eyewitness accounts. This approach empowers communities to have a voice, provide diverse perspectives, and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of events. It helps foster transparency, immediacy, and inclusivity, making news more collaborative and reflective of how people experience the world.
