Abstract
This study explores the relationship between citizen journalism and mental health in Pakistan, particularly emphasizing the impact of exposure to citizen-generated content. Citizen journalism has changed the media environment, notably impacting public participation and emotional well-being. A qualitative approach and purposive sampling technique were employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews from three categories media persons, students and common citizens. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Approximately 65% of participants responded with emotional distress and increased anxiety caused by distressing content. Even though many had negative experiences, some reported positive outcomes when situations were handled responsibly. Consumption of citizen journalism and mental health were mediated by variables like age and media literacy. The results highlight the need for ethical standards and responsible reporting practices in citizen journalism. Enhanced media literacy and healthy coping strategies are essential for creating a supportive media landscape.
