He also gave student 14 points to give a good citizen journalism report. Ovais Ahmed stated "Always keep open your eyes and being a journalist you should have a nose for news.He talked about his upcoming projects and aware the students about the importance of this type of journalism.Audiences are increasingly creating content and publishing it themselves or contributing it to the media rather than just consuming it, as has almost always been the case. 

 Debates on the impact of this trend on mainstream media are widely contested.Detractors however criticize citizen journalism and say there are many risks, particularly the potential of false news being published online.He also said that “Writing for a convergent media” is basically citizen journalism.

With time, most citizen journalism will be clued on the do’s and don’ts of journalism and this can reduce the potential risk of citizen journalism to both the citizen journalist and the publisher.Here are some more important intresting lines about Cj.
