There have already been instances where news outlets have published images from these "citizen" journalists only to find out later that the images were faked, a hoax. I guess that media outlets that are willing to distribute these images have no issue with trading their reputattions as unbiased, dependable news sources in the name of saving a few dollars. It is certainly a different world than that in which I received my training in which as a journalist your reputation was never, ever for sale.</p></blockquote><p></p>
