What is a gatekeeper?
Someone who has the ability to choose what is being broadcasted in the media
How has the role of a gatekeeper changed?
No, gatekeepers still have to decide whether what is being provided by a citizen journalist is acceptable to be shown in the media
What is one of the primary concerns held by journalists over the rise of UGC?
That their jobs will be at risk, with the constant rise of UGC it shows a world without it being unmediated, which by far a lot more people prefer.
