The creation of "citizen journalists", has revolutionised the delivery of information to the point where Rusbridger now sees our journalists and readers as equal partners.We need to get writers into the mindset where we tell less and listen more, not just in send mode but receive mode, where publishing an article is the beginning of a process and not the end of it."
