Abstract
A few Years back we used to get news through Newspapers, Radio and Television. Professional Journalists would go places to get stories, photographs and videos of situations and events. Some stories which affected us, some were part of our normal routine. Some stories which we use to wish to tell masses, but we rarely, if ever, get a chance to share with others. However over the last few years everything has changed. Thanks to new tools like weblogs and smart Phones, it is now possible to easily publish to the Internet. From North Pole to South Pole, everyday people like you and me are starting to share their stories and opinions with the rest of the world. We become a new-age media, actively participating and exploring stories. We are citizen Journalists.
