Plans
[edit]I plan on improving this article and adding to it. I believe that civic journalism is a great idea, and integrating journalism into the democratic process would help inform voters and make them more aware of what is occurring in the political sphere. Including this, it could make a difference in the democratic process if all voters were equally informed. However, I believe an important aspect is ensuring that the information received by the public is all accurate and fact-checked. This is an important aspect that sometimes gives journalism, and certain news sources, a bad reputation. I hope to increase awareness on how accuracy in political news and journalism can enable voters to be more involved in the democratic process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishangill10 (talk • contribs) 06:27, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm potentially interested in contributing to this wiki page. The topics I'm considering building upon are: the future of civic journalism and the potential challenges that it faces, the role that fake news or the internet in general has had on civic journalism, people/organizations that have been instrumental in growing/supporting the civic journalism field, how civic journalism has changed in the digital age, and ethical standards in civic journalism.
The sources I'm considering using are: https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=qLoFui46dO8C&oi=fnd&pg=PA115&dq=future+of+civic+journalism&ots=hLZwF8i5Bg&sig=g5XJvfnIvgM8g0bLDs0Vpl-5Pfk#v=onepage&q=future%20of%20civic%20journalism&f=false https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Future_of_Journalism_Risks_Threats_a/8dDgDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=future+of+civic+journalism&printsec=frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Crisis_of_Journalism_Reconsidered/LXFNDAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=future+of+civic+journalism&printsec=frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Future_of_Journalism/_X3aAAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=future+of+civic+journalism&printsec=frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Civic_Media/eQmVDAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=future+of+civic+journalism&pg=PA3&printsec=frontcover Dalexandertom (talk) 23:34, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
