Culture, Identity and Citizen Journalism in Bulgarian Online Media
Abstract
The present paper analyses the role of citizen journalism within the websites of traditional media. It focuses on the representations of culture and identity in terms of Russophilia and the ongoing immigration crisis. The analysis is based on comments, which appear to be the only form of citizen journalism within the selected websites.
