Content changes
WithBy "citizen journalism", we refer to the emerging practice of members of the public thatwho play an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing and disseminating news and information. This trend is gaining particular importance thanks to the diffusion of social networks, blogs and internet enabled mobile devices with photo and video capabilities. An example of a breaking news blog page showing contents from common people is shown in the following figure. However, we are still far from considering people interacting on social networks or blogs with their smart phones as a new media because of lack of coordination and verification of provided contents and contributions to the news/events story telling. Large scale choreographies are of major relevance in this domain where run-time integration of services provided by different users is needed and where it is necessary to raise trust and reputation among the various stakeholders. For instance, in the Citizen Journalism scenario described below, a lot of different kinds of actors are involved and some of them can be represented by millions of users around all over the world.
