Cleaning up the Wild West — Medium
“today, we’re announcing that Storyful has provided us with a $60,000 grant to continue the research and to investigate whether there is an appetite for an ongoing resource centre around this type of content.
And before we go any further, let’s address the terrible phrase UGC – user-generated content. We used it in our research, but because the phrase is used to describe everything from an breaking news image captured by a bystander, to a comment underneath a newspaper article, to a tweet, a mashup, or an animation by an twelve year old posted to YouTube, we were very clear about our particular definition of UGC — photos or videos filmed by people unrelated to the newsroom. And we never liked it.
So from now on we’re using the phrase eyewitness media.”
