@ mathewi Storage of raw onpass docs is publishing only in technical/legal sense -they rely on real publishers with actual audiences, staff.
We are no longer just consumers of content , we have become curators of it too. In Part 1 of this Guide I have introduced why we really need real-time news curation and what is the basic idea behind it (Part 1 - Real-Time News Curation, Newsmastering And Newsradars - The Complete Guide Part 1: Why We Need It ). In Part 2 I want to continue illustrating what " real-time news curation " is all about, and more specifically why it differs from automatic aggregation, and why you really need a human being to do it.
Part III: Curation Types and Real-World Examples
I have received a lot of emails from readers asking to illustrate more clearly what the actual typical tasks of a news curator are, and what are the tools that someone would need to use to carry them out. In Part 4 and 5 of this guide I am looking specifically at both the workflow, the tasks involved as well as at the attributes, qualities and skills that a newsmaster, or real-time news curator should have.
What skills do I need to have if I want to be an effective real-time news curator ?
" I’ve spent a good deal of time searching for a word other than “Curation” in part because of the connection to museums (which I feared sounded elitist and historic). But the fact is that it is the right word, with the right results.
News channels in the near future will have no reason, incentive or advantage in trying to replicate what they do now: giving coverage to a handful of topics and stories out of the whole spectrum of news out there.
