The obligatory and the original: 3 things I learned from our week as Romenesko | Poynter

The obligatory and the original: 3 things I learned from our week as Romenesko | Poynter | Social Media Content Curation | Scoop.it
In the eight-plus years I’ve worked with Jim Romenesko, I’ve spent some time talking with him, more time emailing with him, and — most of all — I’ve admired and observed how he does what he does. But last week, for the first time, I experienced it firsthand when Jim took some well-deserved and unprecedented time off.

In the process I learned three things about content curation:
- The balance between the obligatory and the original is critical.
- What you exclude is as important as what you include.
- Speed kills, but slowness is a painful death of its own.

The Future of Media: Storify and the Curatorial Instinct

The Future of Media: Storify and the Curatorial Instinct | Social Media Content Curation | Scoop.it
The explosion of real-time information through social networks like Twitter and Facebook has created an opportunity for "curation" tools such as Storify, which just launched as a public beta.

Tools like Storify allow anyone to perform the same kind of function, regardless of whether they have been trained as a journalist — or even think of what they are doing as journalism.

Journalism and curation: A small-town news organization leads the way

Journalism and curation: A small-town news organization leads the way | Social Media Content Curation | Scoop.it
As the number of information sources grows and become decentralized, here are four ways it helps news organizations and their communities:

1. Better information for the community and someone looking out for their interests to highlight the best.

2. Better journalism because the links to other sources can be put in context and explanations added.

3. More potential traffic and time on site for the news organization, which delivers more value to advertisers or sponsors. (More time on site would derive from having more links to engage readers, not from any assumption that the main site would publish more than teasers.

4. More exposure for smaller sites and other sources of information, who can potentially be part of a network that delivers more value to advertisers and users alike.
