This dissertation explores the relationship between citizen journalism and political outcomes (political literacy and political participation) and their potential impacts on the Malaysian political arena. In the course of exploration this study examined the positive attitudes towards citizen journalism and political literacy, the association between political knowledge and political participation, and the correlation between positive attitudes towards citizen journalism and political engagement among students at four different Malaysian universities in 2016. The four campuses involved in this research were 1) Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, 2) Taylor's University College in Selangor, 3) Universiti Malaysia Sarawak in Kuching and 4) Curtin University Sarawak in Miri. This research employed a mixed method approach to answering the research questions - a survey of students from the four Malaysian education institutions and in-depth interviews with eight informants. I received 393 responses to the survey. To investigate the potential impacts of citizen journalism and political participation on Malaysian politics I selected for interviews eight informants, among them were news editors, public figures, and activists. The fieldwork for this research was carried out in Malaysia and the United Kingdom from April, 2016, to October, 2016.The results revealed a negative correlation between positive attitudes towards citizen journalism and political literacy. Other potential reasons found for low political literacy among Malaysians included low media literacy and social factors such as age, types of university attended, locality, race, and religion. I also discovered a negative correlation between political literacy and political engagement among respondents - respondents with lower political literacy were more likely to participate in politically related activities. Research outcomes revealed that respondents who showed positive attitudes towards citizen journalism had lower political knowledge - however, they were more likely to participate in politically related activities. It was posited that the low quality of citizen journalism content (lack of accuracy, lack of credibility and contentious content) had contributed to the low political literacy among Malaysians. Another potential factor was the low media literacy among the citizens. Through in-depth interviews with research informants, I found that citizen journalism and political engagement have the potential to alter the Malaysian political landscape - however such changes are expected to happen gradually.
