Abstract

New media initiated by the Internet have transferred the principle of news production from objectivity to self-proved transparency. This paper tries to discuss the inherent transparency of citizen journalism. It fnds out that the transparent narrative of citizen journalism can be exhibited by the transparency of narrator and narration and the mirror spectacle of narrative time and space. It fnally argues that the transparent narrative of citizen journalism might bring about unreliability of the narrative whereas it’s helpful for rational judgement of the public.
