Popular citizen journalist websites in India

New media technology, such as social networking and media-sharing websites, in addition to the increasing prevalence of cellular telephones, have made citizen journalism more accessible to people worldwide. Due to the availability of technology, citizens often can report breaking news more quickly than traditional media reporters. Notable examples of citizen journalism reporting from major national events are, the 16 December 2012 rape case and the Modi campaign spreading its wings across the nation.
