User-Generated Content<br />

User-generated content has the potential to serve good journalism, which at its core seeks to broaden<br />

the marketplace of ideas, deepen our understanding of issues and events, and connect people with like<br />

interests.<br />

Done well, user-generated content adds diverse voices and opinions to an organization's journalism,<br />

contributes to journalists' credibility and enhances our mission as trusted guides. Realizing the potential<br />

of user-generated content requires care and tending and a level of trust between the publisher and the<br />

contributor.<br />

User-generated content is an essential component for building community and realizing the interactive<br />

potential of the Internet.<br />

Generally speaking, user-generated content falls into two broad categories:<br />

Self-published user-generated content, which often looks like opinion and comments, generally<br />

is posted on a publisher's Web site without vetting or editing.<br />

Editorially vetted user-generated content is directly solicited -- "Tell us your story" or "Send us<br />

a news photo" -- and may be checked for accuracy, relevance or taste before publication.<br />

Principles & Values<br />

Publishers who adopt clear standards for the publication of user-generated content help ensure that<br />

such content will enhance their organization's journalism. Consider the following:<br />

1.) Terms and conditions for the publication of user-generated content, spelling out the rules of<br />

engagement, must be publicized and consistently enforced in order to be effective.<br />

2.) The standards should make clear the publisher's policy on user-generated content and issues such as:<br />

Taste and judgment<br />

Anonymous posting<br />

Linking from user-generated content to external sources<br />

Moderating<br />

3.) Publishers of user-generated content must establish and clearly communicate the consequences for<br />

members of the user community whose actions violate the publisher's terms and conditions. Such<br />

consequences must be enforced consistently in order to be fair.<br />

4.) Those who choose to publish user-generated content should identify and reconcile any deviations<br />

between the standards developed for user-generated content and those which exist for the journalists<br />

inside the organization. For example:

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
