Mainstream media and citizen journalism - The situation in Spain By Octavio Rojas, Weber Shandwick Ibérica
EDITORS' CHOICE - Let me quote myself today:

Citizen journalism in Spain organizes itself in an intermittent and decentralized way, without commitments nor apparent rules. There are not experiences like Ohmynews or Bayosphere.

The most similar case in Spain is Vilaweb, which offers local information of Catalonia and Balearics Islands, communities in which Catalan -one of the official languages of Spain- is the common language.

The fact of having its contents in Catalan not only define its public, but also restricts its scope and won’t allow it to turn into a national media (though it is not its aim).
