Citizen Journalism Vs Traditional Media

In his video posted on X (previously Twitter) on October 27, 2024, Elon Musk said citizen journalism is the future. Supporting the role of social media, the American billionaire added, “The aggregate voice of the people gets to decide the narrative of what is newsworthy, not a handful of editors-in-chief.” Musk, who is himself the owner of X, has defended the social media as the real generators of news and ideas and challenged the authenticity of traditional media—the newspapers, radios, and televisions.
