What is it about?

Most of social media news consumption research is focused on user-generated content. This approach is on user-distributed content to check its relevance into management of journalism in mass media organizations. It is not just a way to expand the distribution of content, but a change of paradigm about the conception of the product itself.

Why is it important?

Perspectives

I found relevant this kind of approaches in order to get a kind of general news sharing theory, and I think we should go deeper in this way, nowadays we can not explain the act itself of news consumption without the act of sharing content.
