     2. think about catchy headlines & SEO keywords

     3. comment about content you’ve gathered & relate it to the whole

Towards a Better Definition of Curation in Journalism [Summary]

“Curation is about taking care to ensure that our audience has the best possible information, context and presentation of that information.”

-A curator is more than just a collector or organizer

-Good curators put information into a broader context

-Curating & aggregating are one in the same

-Curators are care takers (latin “curare” = to take care)

-Curators in journalism should aim to take care of stories, beats and communities

-Importance of collecting, interpreting, researching, archiving

-Use that information to advance understanding of the story and the presentation of a story

-Take care of your collection for as long as you are on the job

-A journalist doesn’t always need to be the first to report. Some should strive to be the one who reports with thoughtful & long-lasting intent.
