Social Media - From Curation to Storytelling | Social Media Content Curation | Scoop.it
Social media platforms at their outset allowed us to share information on what’s happening in our daily lives with friends and family. In the past few years, we’ve seen these channels gain credibility as we’ve been granted access to breaking news (Twitter), opinions (blogs) and visual content (YouTube, flickr, Twitpic, etc.) through them.

As we’ve seen in coverage on The New York Times, the media do not hesitate anymore to integrate social media elements into their stories, but social media by itself offers so much more potential for storytelling by its immediacy and its unfiltered authenticity.
