-One famous top model died due to the citizen journalism
A few years ago there was a hot issue derived from the article that affected whole Korean society.
The article said that Korean top model Byeon, jeong su died from car accident.
However, at that time she kept alive and she got the hundreds of calls from who concerned about her whereabouts.
She got really angry with the situation and took a legal proceeding against it.
After it turned out that one female university student posted that rumor seemed like a real on her blog and the small news site without any reasons and people who read that spread out the big news rapidly.
Finally one journalist saw the information then wrote an article about her accident on the big official news site.
I think this is the case which demonstrates failure of citizen journalism.
One man can be killed by the careless blogger.
So, what should we do when we read an article and blog posting on social news websites?

You posted same story with me!!!
Yeah..It was really big problem..
In Korea, When we tried to sign in a social networking sites, we're required the social security number. But I don't know why people make bad rumor like this..I think they might know they surely would be arrested by police..
Anyway it's too hard to live celebraty's life..
I heard that rumor in Korea. I think many people like to make bad rumor for someone by using the anonymity. Citizen Journalism has many goodnesses to spread the information which most people can't know the truth. I think some regulation needs to restrict the bad rumor and the etiquette on internet has to teach all of users.
Korean internet culture become more violent and aggressive. In this year, 2 more celebrity suicide because of internet rumor. This is a dark side of developed internet technology..Everyone easily access internet and write down anything, they does not care what they doing..
