CNN.com opens its doors to user content
Cory Bergman July 30th, 2006
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.

Will the user-submitted video be archived on their pay service (pipeline) after a week?
If so, they should split the revenue with the submitter.
No one should give these big media companies free content. They are making millions off of us already. Now they want us to do their job for them too? Make them pay for being lazy!

Seriously… they want the world gift wrapped to them…
That said, some people off the street could probably do a better job than a bunch of their ‘talent’.

I’m DISAPOINTED WITH CNN. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD CNN GIVE SO MUCH COVERAGE OR MORE IMPORTANCE TO WHAT A DRUNK MOVIE STAR HAS TO SAY.
EQUAL TO A WAR WHERE PEOPLE OR GETTING KILLED PROBABLY EVERY MINUTE
