Pro-am journalism

Pro-am journalism refers to collaborations between professional journalists and amateur or citizen journalists. It leverages the skills, resources, and perspectives of non-professionals to enhance reporting, gather information, andcover stories, especially in situations where mainstream media may lack access or resources. This approach can increase coverage, foster community engagement, and provide diverse viewpoints. However, it also requires careful verification and editorial oversight to ensure accuracy and reliability. Overall, pro-am journalism blends formal journalism expertise with community-based contributions to enrich the flow of information.
