We The Media & Citizen Journalism

How are these videos connected?

 

They are all examples of 'citizen journalism' and so called 'We Media' as defined by Dan Gillmor in 2004 in his book 'We The Media'.

• http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-nigro/post_11089_b_9319686.htm
• https://mediactive.com 

How does this connect to press regulation? 

Because, through bypassing the traditional media 'Gatekeepers' of the major press organisations and media institutions, citizen journalists are not under the auspices of press regulators such as IPSO: link to the organisations regulated by the IPSO

Does this mean the press regulator is an increasingly irrelevance? 

On the other hand, is it a good thing that we have unregulated 'citizens' doing the role of professionals? (Imagine if we had 'Citizen Heart Surgeons' for example)
