N2 - Modern possibilities of people participation in political and social life do not coincide with real practice of civil journalism functioning on terrestrial TV. Amateurs do not compete with professional journalists on TV and are not regarded as equal partners in the context of vague professional identity as they do not follow the proper standards. Mobile reporting materials are mostly cameramen videos, their reports need interpretation and can be interpreted in different ways. There are evident confines in the mobile reporters’ activity on terrestrial TV. That is why amateur video are likely to be a mark of democratization and citizen journalism than the phenomenon itself and can be treated as an additional expressive method and mostly from the aesthetic point of view than from real functions of journalism.
