 * === ** Driving Question: What is citizen journalism? ** ===
 * === Leading Questions: ===
 * 1) What tools do citizen journalists use to report the news?
 * 2) Can citizen journalists adequately take over for the dwindling core of professional journalists as watchdogs of government?
 * 3) How can consumers of news determine whether citizen journalists are reporting the news objectively? Does news objectivity still matter?
 * 4) Should trained journalists produce content as citizen journalists in the hopes of earning money through donations? Does this blur the line between professional and amateur reporting?
 * 5) What are content farms? Is the rise of citizen journalism related to the rise of content farms, or are both simply effects of the poor economic and employment climate for news professionals?
 * 6) Where has citizen journalism had the biggest impact in the world? Where do you see it having an impact in the near future? How about in the long term?
