Through the rapid development of smart phones and the improvement of cameras we are noticing a dramatic change in the way journalism is used and how photojournalism is affected. The usage of ¿citizen journalism¿ has increased hundredfold and it is still rising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this dissertation I want to take a closer look on this new phenomenon to discover if it is becoming a problem for professional photojournalists and if it affects the way how images are published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery professional news agency today has many further sources ¿ such as twitter, Flickr or Facebook - to choose from, which is advantageous on the one hand, but isn¿t it a step in a direction that could let professional photojournalism ¿die¿?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what are the reasons for that?

To find a precise definition is not easy, as this kind of journalism is relatively new and even sources like Wikipedia don`t find a clear answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
