Josh Wolf, Citizen [Journalist?]

John C Abell's picture

Off the topic of Information, but with the resolution of the Josh Wolf case this is a good time to examine some basic questions confronting citizens+journalism.

I've blogged about this on my site (and am not a fan of cross-posting) so I'll quote myself fair-use style and link to the rest:

"It was journalism to the extent that I went out to capture the truth and present it to the public." … "It has nothing to do with whether or not I'm employed by a corporation or I carry a press pass."
-- Josh Wolf

Is that enough? Or is it even the right argument?
