This consideration created confusion for program and editorial policies and priority order at the traditional media level, especially TV.

In recent years, remarkable interest emerged oxer society concerns; this interest is translated into a new attitude in media work.

If we study • the nature of confusion, which currently happens in many liberal and conservation communities, we will realize the communicative activity depth of citizen journalism and its impact in shaping and building public opinion in a manner makes this "journalism" like a power threatens the traditional influence of official media.

If we look at the nature of coexistence between both types, we will find them vary depending on the political and cultural systems.

In the context of this study, we will try to know if citizen journalism is able to address the issues ignored in the official media and the citizen or individual breaks the fence of silence and does not fear to fall in its spiral as modem technology• of communication provides a platform for freedom of expression, blogging and posting.
