Summary/Abstract: This paper questions the pluralism of terms used for considering citizen participation in the production of news. Based on a literature review, the concepts of participatory, civic and networked journalism are discussed – their meaning and use in academic literature. Besides examining the existing way of differentiation between citizen and participatory journalism, the concepts of participatory, civic and networked journalism are systematized using the basic model of the communication process. on the grounds of the theoretical discussions and introduced systematization, participatory journalism is offered as a unifying concept with potential to encompass current transformation of journalism as a system.
