Interesting piece here about the prestigious journalism Polk Award going to an anonymous person who captured a startling video of a student’s death in Iran. I remember how Time magazine’s person of the year last year or year before was “You” with a mirror like effect on the cover, (clever.).. and now awarding boards are getting into the mix.
CJ, (as we used to call it at Current… *nostalgic sign*), is not going away. Many websites are springing up that embrace the Citizen Journalism, and I won’t lie, we’re quite fascinated in the possibilities ourselves, here at UC. But like advertising, we believe in the curator, just as much as the power of the collective.
I’m interested to hear what consumers think about iReport. CNN claims it’s widely popular, but do viewers like the “UGC” element and packaging? Or does the quality of the content and access trump all?
And the Award goes to… everybody with a camera and access
