Answer:

- increase in inaccurate and subjective stories

Step-by-step explanation:

Citizen journalism is an extension of conventional journalism where common citizens report on news stories which are relevant to them. This increases the availability of breaking news, provides additional background for understanding news stories and decreases biased reporting with unidimensional point if view. But in the downside, stories created by citizens who are not formally trained may potentially have subjective and inaccurate content which may need editing.
