There is a lot of impact on news stories because of the rise of UGC and because of citizen journalism. The impact of new stories is that in today's developed generation and due to all the development in new and digital media ordinary people are posting up videos of the news and creating debates about the new news. Ordinary people are giving the news out for free to the world out here. Most of the news is spread across the social networking site, any news stories which is released or takes place would straight be on social networking site. It's done by ordinary people they like to spread the news out to everyone. If a news is recorded by someone and is posted up at the time, they are referred to citizen journalists. The reason they are called this is because they are ordinary people, they record a piece of news and they would put it on social media and everywhere else so that others can see.

An example of an citizen journalism is the Rodney King incident which was recorded by an ordinary man and he then spread the whole story to everyone around the world. The man is know known as a citizen journalist as he gave out an very hurt touching news to everyone. An example of UGC is the channel on YouTube, Sourcefed. This is a channel in YouTube who provide news every single day and they won't just posts the news up, but they would make it enjoyable for the audience to watch. They keep each video very short because the longer it is the boring it is. The development in the new and digital media is giving a lot of power to ordinary people to do whatever they like on the internet.

Ordinary people can do whatever they like on the internet post videos, debate about things. The media lets the people out there spread things on social networking site which young people can adapt very quickly. The reason why they adapt more through the social networking site is because it gives them the power to contribute in the story which is taking part. They have the power to fight against and for the news which is taking place.

News agenda is what is news and if it would be shown as a piece of news. News is taken in consideration if it is a serious news, and if they want to get the news out to the audience. The impact of citizen journalist on news agenda could be a lot because most of the news would be posted by the ordinary people. So even before the news agenda is made the news would be already out their by ordinary people.
