Well at least one definitely is, as Karen from NeighborMedia passed this on to me today. It's the sort of thing we were discussing in the first session of Citizen Journalism 101 (which we considered calling "Community Journalism 101" instead), where John Grebe actually brought up the same point about the use of the word "citizen" and its socio-political overtones. The digital divide is mentioned more explicitly at the end of the article, something I have blogged about in the past due to its questionable role in this whole "community journalism" movement.
