Citizen journalism website iwitness24 has generated front page news in the Norwich Evening News and Stevenage Comet, after Archant launched the platform in January.

Richard Willner, who is responsible for the iwitness24 site, said: 'Iwitness24 has already delivered some cracking news stories. We've had front pages on the Norwich Evening News and Stevenage Comet, thanks to the iwitness24 platform, and plenty of online pieces and photo galleries.'

Willner was speaking to Press Gazette following a survey by Kantar Media's Global TGI Net which suggested only 12 percent of British internet users submit articles and comment to online newspapers.
