Finding the Wisdom in the Crowd:

“We are also working to scale the techniques our editorial team has perfected in validating videos and images. At its core, this process is built around a checklist ... [LIST] ... Our approach to rating sources and the video they upload revolves around another checklist ... [LIST]”

 

This stuff is excellent!

Twitter and journalism: It shouldn't be that complicated

Twitter and journalism: It shouldn't be that complicated | Social Media and Journalists | Scoop.it
From gigaom.com - March 9, 2012 11:55 AM

"By pretending that their journalists don’t have opinions, when everyone knows that they do, mainstream media outlets are suggesting their viewers or readers are too stupid to figure out where the truth lies, or too thick to consider the facts of a story if the reporter happens to have retweeted someone or joined a Facebook page."
