Even Ashley Highfield, the BBC’s Director of New Media and Technology, is a citizen journalist now – I spotted his photo of the queues at Heathrow in a BBC News Online gallery today (click through to the third photo).

We got to get into a conversation about CJ v eye-witness.
There is a lot of simple disussion to be had about people eho see and people who report.
Brien Friel (Irish Playwright) thinks there are seven sides to every story. I think we (us BBC types who have an iterest in this) really need a discussion about Eyewitness,storytelling, reporting , and journalism)
Just ’cause I take a photo or tell you whatI saw – that’s not the truth of the event – only my interpretation of the event. The Radio 4 project on Memory has bee really interesting on memory/reportage – althoug they haven’t raised that.
it’s an important off line conversation
You lead it — I’ll follow.
It could be the most important conversation the BBC can have during the changing times we are experencing.
“Networked journalism” (Jeff Jarvis’ latest phrase) is a better description than “Citizen Journalism”.
