Summary/Abstract: Media communication is under the pressure of democratization today. It is characterized by preserving some elements from mainstream (or old) media while it evolves under the pressure of new technologies, innovative models of institutional management, the process of creation and diffusion of information, news and entertainment products. The content of communication is marked by interactivity and the pressure of non-professionals (nevertheless, some of them very skilled) on classical media institutions. Citizen journalism has complex forms and a clear impact on traditional media. This paper focuses on the dynamic relationship between the old (mainstream) media and citizen journalism.
