Abstract

The journalism profession is facing a new digital communication environment in which traditional information flows, emanating from the media to the general public unidirectionally, are reversed under the new channels of participation and influence that audiences, which are active and dynamic on the network, use to take part in shaping public opinion. In this paper we describe and analyze some of the citizens' information practices and the ethical dilemmas posed about journalism and the right to information.
