Online media is a concrete manifestation of the birth of citizen journalism. Through online media can be a critical person writing and his writing can be read by all people in the world.

Strengthening of citizen journalism in Indonesia raises questions, like whether citizen journalism will replace the old school tradition of journalism? How to form a growing citizen journalism in Indonesia? How is the quality of citizen journalism in Indonesia? How does the impact of citizen journalism for the public and the mainstream media?

Observing the problems above seem not merely the ability of citizen journalism reporting standards and the preparation of a news-style 5W + H, but also the problem of how to make the issue "personal Becomes the public, the Personal Becomes Public."
