I've always wondered about news organizations. The vast majority of them have websites full of regurgitated content. They don't usually discover and report their own news, they feed off Associated Press, Reuters and often times individuals posting videos on youtube or articles in their blogs. It would be nice to see them not dominate news on the internet by simply engaging in re-writing what someone else originated.

Is it content curation? Don't know. Everyone is reporting pretty much exactly the same things. They can't all be the original source. Who gets the juice?
