YouTube Citizen News:
This service by the biggest video site on the web appears to be a altruistic go at empowering citizens to tell their own stories.

A potentially better attempt to harness this phenomenon though is http://www.nowpublic.com/
NowPublic has created a "less-amateur" citizen media by inserting a layer of governance and checks from a known group of experienced volunteers (including a former BBC News head) who oversee and manage content quality.
As we see more of these services start and grow, you do wonder if this is Press 2.0 in action...
