Citizen Journalism Takes Jacksonville by Storm

Sarah Gojekian

The people’s news - of the people, by the people, for the people.  Call it what you will - street journalism is the “new black” of information in the digital age.  Also known as citizen journalism, and typically disseminated in an online format, it is mobile, real time, and pays mind to you. Florida-based news site Metrojacksonville.com is proof of that.

Five years ago five guys had an idea. There wasn’t a public news forum in Jacksonville that focused on the city’s urban core.  And importantly, there was no outlet to voice opinions on pressing issues facing the structure and function of the city. Enter Metrojacksonville.com.
