The Debate: Citizen Journalism

Are we all reporters now? Have technology and new attitudes changed the face of journalism? Or is citizen journalism just a new name for an old practice?

If you would like to share your thoughts, this afternoon MediaGuardian.co.uk and the National Union of Journalists will provide a forum.

Leading industry figures and representatives of the blogging community will debate the citizen journalism phenomenon.

The panel, chaired by Jeremy Dear, general secretary of the NUJ, includes:

Carol Hall, Rights Manager, BBC News John Thompson, MD, Mousetrap Media Kyle McRae, Scoopt.com Fiona Brownsell, CEO, Youview Eddie Gibb, Head of External Relations, DEMOS Bill Hagerty, Editor, British Journalism Review Vicky Taylor, Editor, Interactive, BBC Jemima Kiss, News Editor, journalism.co.uk Simon Waldman, Guardian Unlimited Simon Bucks, BSkyB

If you have points that you would like to be raised at the meeting or questions you would like to put to the group, then post them here.
