Abstract

This article examines the similarities and differences between professional and citizen journalism from theoretical and functional perspectives. The aim of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the theoretical and practical aspects of these two types of journalism. Professional journalism is characterized by fact-checking, editorial control, and adherence to ethical and legal standards, ensuring the delivery of reliable information to society. Citizen journalism is distinguished by its speed, the ability to report directly from the scene of events, and the absence of geographical limitations. In addition, it reaches a wide audience through social media. The development of social networks and digital technologies has strengthened the interaction between these two directions and shaped a new media environment. In conclusion, the integration of professional and citizen journalism is identified as an important factor in the development of the modern media system.
