What's the difference between a citizen journalist and a mojo?

Denis Filed Under: Labels: , , , , ,
Of course, the main difference is the fact that mobile journalists (mojos) are paid by the paper they write for. After that is taken out of the equation there are few differences. A mojo will probably be better equipped, but their output looks very similar to that of a citizen journalist.

Mojos report on everything and anything and record the event for all forms of broadcast and print. One of the main jobs of a mojo on a local paper is to train local people to be citizen journalists who will get paid to contribute to the newspaper.

I think the idea of being a mojo is a good one if it means that you are prepared to record an event in several different ways. However, if it means that you run around like a headless chicken trying desperately to cover everything, but nothing in detail, then it's a very bad idea.
