2. The primary example is the case of a African American Rodney King. This was about a high speed case in Los angeles. Eventually this man was caught and was beaten by the police officers and all this was caught via camera recording by someone through a apartment window. Eventually this news it the international stage being on the main news channels and it was user generated. The majority of the complaints were around the racism towards African- Americans. This sparked moral panic as this shows that even police can beat you down and it was civil unrest. Later these people were charged because of assault. However this did spark controversy as they six days of riots where 53 people died. This affected America badly as the damage cost the country up to a billion dollars.
3. Chat Rooms, reviews section, blog comments, youtube comments, Facebook status, tweets, consumer polls, call in
4. Fist hand footage is more emotive and there is no acting taking place and the consumers can see whats really happening. however professional footage isn't really emotive because everything is planned and nothing is happening live. Footage on live TV isn't raw and isn't as interesting than content produced by citizen journalists.
5. A gatekeeper is almost the boss as this person controls what will be seen or what won't be seen in the newspapers.
6. A gatekeeper is almost irrelevant know as they cannot stop what people are producing online as the internet is where the mass audience is and nobody has control over what goes on the internet
and what doesn't.

This could benefit the big institutions such as BBC as they will be able to footage for proof to show on their website or show on live TV. This also gives proof to the audiences when they have footage as the video gives you 100 per cent proof and the audience could believe the institution which is a benefit to the institution as they will gain more viewers when they have actual footage.
The benefits to the audience is that they all have a chance to have a say and can have their footage on live TV and big institutions could use their footage if it is in context with the current situations and it could be used, however you'll have to have the standard quality camera to do so, but most people have smart phones which are bound to have great camera quality. So it's benefited audiences as they could take part in the news in this day and age. Also they know have a big opinion whereas before it was no opinion from the audience.
