Abstract

One of the many changes that have occurred in the field of journalism over the last years is the involvement of citizens in news production, a development which has challenged some of the traditional values of journalism and led to the emergence of new concepts, such as crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is a process of obtaining information and services from many organizations or individuals. The notion of crowdsourcing includes crowdcreation (or user-generated content) and crowdfunding (asking the crowd to provide funding). This study adds to the existing literature of crowdsourcing, crowdcreation and crowdfunding by focusing closely on Greek and Cypriot news websites and by examining how these websites use crowdsourcing features. The findings demonstrate that the majority of the news websites in Greece and Cyprus do not include crowdsourcing features (crowdfunding and crowdcreation) on their websites.
