公民新闻

the coverage of news by ordinary people, which is then shared on the Internet

What is "citizen journalism"?

Citizen journalism refers to the practice of ordinary people reporting news and information, often through digital platforms like social media, blogs, or videos. Unlike traditional journalists, citizens gather and share news stories from their own perspective, sometimes covering events that may not be reported by mainstream media. This type of journalism allows a wider range of voices to be heard and can provide immediate coverage. While it can be a valuable source of information, it also requires careful attention to accuracy and reliability.

Whales are the largest animals on Earth, with some species reaching lengths of up to 100 feet or more. They have streamlined bodies with smooth skin and a sleek shape that allows them to glide effortlessly through the water. Whales have a blowhole on top of their heads that they use to breathe, and they are known for their impressive spouts or "blows" when exhaling air. They are powerful swimmers, capable of diving to great depths and undertaking long migrations. Whales are known for their complex social structures and vocalizations, often referred to as "whale songs." They are filter-feeders or hunters, depending on the species, and primarily feed on plankton, krill, fish, or other marine organisms. Whales are iconic and awe-inspiring creatures that have captivated human imagination for centuries, representing the majesty and mystery of the world's oceans.
