Abstract
The study evaluated the rise of citizen journalism in Nigeria and discovered that Citizen Journalism is emerging as a powerful phenomenon across Nigeria as showcased by popular citizen journalism websites. The Sahara Reporters, one of such websites, is noted for its timely reports on issues and events as evidenced in a study conducted by Dare (2011:44) where 86 of the 120 respondents surveyed cited the Sahara reporters as a source of breaking news. By its interactivity and ability to deliver news in split seconds, citizen journalism has posed a serious challenge to the mainstream media in Nigeria. In as much as citizen journalism in
Nigeria has broadened people’s access to a variety of news, this study suggests that during emergencies, citizen journalists should not spread news or post pictures that may hamper rescue operations. The need therefore to sensitize Nigerian citizen journalists on proper use of this emerging brand of journalism is obvious.
