ABSTRACT
This study focused on journalists' perception of the credibility of citizen journalism on social media platforms. Citizen journalism is a rapidly evolving form of journalism, which has enabled ordinary people to report newsworthy situations around them. The population of the study consisted of 50 registered journalists in Uyo. The objectives of the study were to: examine how citizen journalism has affected journalists and their profession; highlight the possible threats the credibility of citizen journalism pose to journalism practice; find out how professional journalists perceive the credibility of citizen journalism and to find out why credibility is a major issue in citizen journalism. Findings from the study reveal that citizen journalism lacked credibility and professional journalists felt this fact was enough reason for citizen journalists not to assume their jobs. The researcher recommended that citizen journalists must be guided to follow ethics of journalism if they must disseminate information on social media platforms.
