About The Online Citizen - Community of Singapore
The myth of objectivity by the mainstream media has been torn asunder by numerous citizen journalists.
But are all citizen journalists advocacy journalists? We have sites like STOMP which claim to be citizen journalists. But what they really do is introduce greater interactivity to traditional journalism.
Advocacy journalism champions causes and values like civic participation, open government and free media. The advocacy journalist makes no attempt to be “even handed” with the injustices of their day. He or she has seen through the illusory ‘objectivity’ and has assumed partisan positions from every point on the socio-political spectrum. He or she is more of an activist with a blog and hence the name ‘blogivist’.
Being a bunch of blogivists, The Online Citizen will continue to redefine news, through the merger of opinions and reporting – forever blurring the lines between editorial and news. The quasi opinions and veiled ‘viewpoints’ of the mainstream media will be routinely exposed and questioned by The Online Citizen; so that in the end, we will have a better and more inclusive Singapore.
