The conflict in Syria, as well as other Arab Spring uprisings, has seen a rise in citizen journalists reporting from the ground on the ongoing war between the country's pro- and anti-government forces. 
Mgogoro wa Syria, kama vile Mapinduzi mengine yaliyozikumba nchi za Kiarabu, zimesababisha kuongezeka kwa waandishi wa habari za kiraia wanaoripoti kutoka katika kwenye uwanja wa vita kuhusu mgogoro unaoendelea kati ya majeshi yanayounga mkono serikali na yale ya waasi.
