This third volume of Citizen Journalism: Global Perspectives seeks to build upon the agenda set in motion by the first and second volumes, namely by: 1) offering an overview of key developments in citizen journalism since 2014, including the use of social media in crisis reporting; 2) providing a new set of case studies highlighting important instances of citizen reporting of crisis events in a complementary range of national contexts; 3) introducing new ideas, concepts and frameworks for the study of citizen journalism; and 4) evaluating current academic and journalistic debates regarding the growing significance of citizen journalism for globalising news cultures. The book expands on the previous volumes by offering new investigations of citizen journalism in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Chile, Czechia, Denmark, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Nigeria, Palestine, The Netherlands and Türkiye.
