citjo
n.— «With an accelerated news cycle and so many disasters and global events to cover, a new type of open-source reporting, citizen journalism, has stepped in to fill the breach.

Many “Citjos,” as they are called, work alongside old hands in the newsrooms.» —“Open Source Journalism: Crowdsourcing the Media” by Angelo Fernando LinuxInsider Jan. 10, 2008.
