In an age where technology has democratized the dissemination of information, citizen journalism has emerged as a powerful force in shaping public understanding of conflicts. Unlike traditional journalism, which is often subject to editorial policies and corporate interests, citizen journalism is characterized by individuals reporting directly from the ground. This raw and immediate form of reporting can offer a more visceral and personal view of conflicts, engaging audiences in ways that professional reports sometimes do not. Yet, this immediacy can also lead to the rapid spread of misinformation, as citizen journalists may lack the training to verify facts and sources.
