@citizenjournos_
Independent citizen journalist and operator of Citizen Journalists platform
The @citizenjournos_ Twitter account is associated with Citizen Journalists, a platform focused on citizen journalism that challenges mainstream media narratives, particularly on topics like government policies, public health, and international conflicts. Active since at least early 2021, the account posts regularly on current events, including COVID-19 skepticism, political rallies, Ukraine-related issues, and social topics like gender and immigration. Recent activities as of October 2025 include commentary on Russian military actions, critiques of media bias, and defenses of traditional gender views. The account maintains a website (citizenjournos.com) for longer-form content and fact-checking efforts.
As a citizen journalism outlet, @citizenjournos_ provides an alternative perspective that empowers public scrutiny but risks amplifying unverified claims in politically charged areas. Its strength lies in highlighting underreported angles and data visualizations, yet credibility is tempered by a clear ideological slant toward contrarian views, potential for selective data use, and lack of formal journalistic affiliations or transparency on sources. Suitable for diverse viewpoints but requires cross-verification with established sources for factual accuracy.
Assessment by Grok AI
The account has a history of challenging official narratives, such as disputing COVID-19 hospitalization data and rally attendance estimates (e.g., fact-checking FullFact on a 2021 London rally). While it positions itself as a fact-checker of 'fact-checkers,' its claims often align with alternative viewpoints that have faced mainstream debunking, including COVID skepticism labeled as misinformation. No major corrections issued by the account itself, but involvement in controversies around conspiracy-adjacent topics like government overreach and media bias. Historical posts from 2021-2025 show consistent patterns without evident retractions.

Be aware everyone, whilst we are giving up our free-time to try and give a voice to those who don't have one, there are elements in Northern Ireland that want us shutdown. This campaign is being spearheaded by @QUBelfast Connor Bamford and failed journalist @AmandaFBelfast

Average age of death in the UK with COVID-19 = 82.4 Average life expectancy in the UK = 81.1 Covid was majority killing those older than the average age of life expectancy. Yet children, the young and the healthy were all locked up for ~12 months. https:// 2/public-wrongly-think-average-age-covid-death-65-poll-reveals/ …

That a baseless claim John, which the data begs to differ with. The most recent available data is from the 2022 census which shows a sharp rise in those claiming to have no religion in Ireland since 1955 to time of census.

Adams is a millionaire & Connelly wouldn’t be far of him. So, we have a millionaire canvassing for wealthy woman, but what do you notice? He picks a council estate as his backdrop. Typical SF move. Use the working class to advance your cause, then slip back to the leafy suburbs.
