7. UGC
Breaking
News
§ UGC
is
even
more
important
when
news
organisaons
have
to
rely
mostly
on
Social
Web
as
they
cannot
have
journalists
on
site.
§ The
UGC
producers
would
have
to
spend
a
considerable
amount
of
me
searching,
aggregang,
contextualising
and
verifying
the
material
received
on
the
Social
Web.
Speed
is
a
killer

is
a
breaking
