Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice provides a conceptualization
of citizen journalism as a political practice developed through
analyses of an historical and postcolonial case. Arguing that citizen
journalism is first and foremost situated, embodied and political
rather than networked and technology-based, the book offers a grounded
analysis of the colonial newspaper, The Herald, published in St. Croix
(Virgin Islands) 1915-25 by a descendant of enslaved people and
independently of the colonial ruler, Denmark. The analysis is informed
by Deleuze and Guattari’s approach to knowledge production and
formulates a critical reading of citizens’ and subjects’ mediated
political engagements then as well as now. The book discusses current
approaches to citizen journalism before turning to The Herald, which
is then read against the grain in an attempt to show the embodied
politics of colonial history and cultural forms of citizen engagement
as these politics evolve in this particular case of journalism
