Ephraim Schwartz on “citizen journalism.” “Let me offer a very cynical point of view: Citizen journalism is a form of fascism waiting to happen. Now I know fascism requires the centralization of power, and that would appear to be the opposite of citizen journalism. But think of dark historic times such as the Salem witch trials or Hitler’s rise to power. They both started with the rantings of individuals, but somehow those individuals became ‘thought leaders,’ and around them coalesced a central organization made up of like-minded individuals.”
