Citizen Journalism
First off, just what is Citizen Journalism? It's essentially a form of Citizen Media, meaning the content is produced by private citizens who are not professional journalists. Related terms are participatory media, blogs, podcasts, digital storytelling, and more. Whatever you call it, it's people like you who are creating the content. Social media in various forms is of growing significance in our lives.
You Can Do it - Why Should You?
It's fun, and it's creative! Share your passions, your joys, and your knowledge. Help others, and learn from the experience yourself. And above all,
COMMUNICATE! That is after all the reason we write!

Publishers Note: LifeintheBrazos.com is pleased to introduce Steve Morgan from Bryan, Texas. In recognition of Steve's love of his country and his dedication to his community and the Veterans' cause, we are publishing Steve as our first Citizen Journalist.

He's also very knowledgeable in a broad range of subjects. A Veteran who served in the U. S. Marines Corps with Marine Air Group 36 in Vietnam from 1967~68 and who also served honorably in the U. S. Air Force in Radio Relay, Steve now spreads his wings once again to take on the challenge of being a Citizen Journalist.
