The five main types of participatory journalism are sources, user feedback, user-generated content, crowdsourcing, and citizen journalism.

Sources are what make a story credible. Without sources, there is no way of telling whether a story is true or not.

user feedback is letting the audience be engaged in what type of story you are writing. This can include comments, hashtags, tags, etc.

User-generated content is when a normal citizen (not a journalist) posts feedback about a story. We see this a lot on social media from TikTok.

Crowdsourcing is when individuals act as a group to come together on one story. These people all have knowledge on one topic and come together to form a community.

Citizen journalism is when an ordinary citizen with no journalistic history creates their own stories for others to interact with.
