Ambiguous phrasing, sorry; the depth and nuance is (usually) a consequence of the volume of reporting that citizen journalism enables, not of any one report — though it can and does sometimes emerge from one insightful and fortuitously situated perspective. It's, in a sense, a corollary of the ESR quip that, "With enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." (Yes, that was Eric Raymond, not Linus.) With enough independent, and independently motivated people documenting a given historical event, a deeper, more subtly textured view of that event becomes possible.
