I hope that it will change the way academics and the wider populous use the various terms associated with what has generally been labelled or mislabelled as citizen journalism and that the term citizen witnessing, as Allan conceptualises it, takes hold. Digital Journalism Drawing on a wide range of relevant work, Allan shrewdly rethinks the idea of the citizen journalist by examining the journalist as citizen as well as the citizen as accidental journalist . Allan s intelligent analysis of both classic and bang-up-to-date examples makes this a key contribution to understanding how journalism should best develop. John Ellis, Royal Holloway, University of London An important book that moves the current debate about the future of journalism into a new domain. A must-read for journalism scholars, students and practitioners alike. Pacific Journalism Review Stuart Allan reminds us 'war zones are also people s homes. He critically documents how mobile and digital tools in the hands of billions around the world have opened up a radicalizing public service of citizen witnessing a phenomenon that is invigorating journalism and forcing democratic (and not so democratic) institutions to greater accountability and responsibility. Susan Moeller, University of Maryland Allan's Citizen Witnessing invites readers to think more deeply about the everyday materialities that define acts of citizen journalism in times of crisis, the very real risks and losses it can entail, and the reasons why we will continue to rely on the courage of its documentarians, and the contingencies of happenstance they face, in the years to come. Citizen Witnessing will be essential reading in journalism studies and beyond. Carrie Rentschler, McGill University This combination of historic contextualization, theoretical analysis, empirical research, and news case studies (citizen and journalist) makes what could have been an impenetrable academic text, a lively, inspiring, and thoughtful read accessible to scholars and students alike.
