Citizens can, but the quality and length would for the most part be short and incidental (outbreaks, viral videos, etc.)
But in-depth investigations, into corruption, into nation-wide, critical issues, will usually require dedicated staff with budgets. Can't place that on a citizen's shoulders
- YinglingLight 6y ago>But in-depth investigations Long since dead in centralized Media. Not click-baity enough. Doesn't fit the attention-span they want. You still assume that the Media is motivated to share truths. They are in the business of creating narratives. I could link you to brilliant connections being made by citizens on Ghislaine Maxwell, her well-connected Father, and a number of elite families. How about Attorney General Bill Barr's Father working at the same school for the gifted with a young Jeffrey Epstein? But such investigation work would be decried as a right wing conspiracy.
