CNN’s youtube
March 13, 2008
CNN, never one to allow itself to be too far behind in the trends, has decided to tap into the citizen journalism realm with a posting site called “iReport.” (BTW, Mac should sew for the name–we all know that they have the market cornered on “i”-franchises).
Anyways, the site–as defined by this recent update–will allow users to post videos, photos, and audio files. I guess it’s a sign of the times. These news businesses have to be very sensitive to the public trends in news gathering–or else, they might get left behind (as newspapers are). It will be interesting to see how iReport ends up. I wonder how serious users will be when posting to the site.
