Polish grassroot reporter and amateur photographer, living in Scotland. Co-founder of Polish independent CJ web site: doorg.info
Co-author of "Poland Watch" (www.polandwatch.com) - blog about Poland and Polish (people, politics and culture) in English.
Specific interests: copyright law, free licences, open access, free culture, journalism and citizen journalism.
Citizen journalism is not for paying the contributors. It's not point to compare two (or more) CJ sites and to say that first one is better because does pay the contributors. And the (new) media slavery is much bigger in corporate media CJ project (like CNN) than in OffTheBus.
And if you ask me: "Now which would YOU choose?" - my response is: never corporate, but private, independent (the best is) non-profit, citizen journalism project.
For example: "For instance, if a website refers to 'two Chinas' or refers to mainland China and Taiwan as two independent regions, we believe that violates China's anti-secession law, as well as other laws," Liu added.", source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/dec/16/china-defends-latest-web-censorship
