I love a good underdog story.
Many people are very against citizen journalism because of the journalistic values that it diminishes, such as objectivity and credibility. However, citizen journalists have the power to break stories, such as Mayhill Fowler. Despite the Huffington Post being liberal, she blogged on the site about Obama's comment on how job losses cause small-town Americans to become "bitter" or "cling to guns and religion."
According to the LA Times article, she got a lot of hate mail for doing that, but she spoke her mind nonetheless.
