CNN.com is introducing a new section dedicated to user-created content. Called CNN Exchange and powered in part by Blip.tv, the section combines CNN.com’s blogs and message boards with user-submitted video, photos and comments, or I-Reports. “User-generated content has the potential to play a pivotal role in journalism whether it’s online or offline,” said Mitch Gelman, senior vice president and executive producer for CNN.com. “With CNN Exchange, we’ve essentially created a one-stop shop for CNN.com users to share their contributions with other Internet users.” Gelman said CNN.com will screen video and photos before posting them on the site.
