Storify Founder Burt Herman about how Social Media is Disrupting News

About the term “curation”:

when I talk to journalists I always have to be like, ‘Actually, curation – it’s really what you guys have always done.’ It’s taking a lot of information, pulling out the relevant parts of it, giving context, and telling a story.

About how traditional media companies first (sometimes still) reacted to the Internet:

it was clearly disrupting newspapers who didn’t seem to know how to deal with it, or grasping onto the old world and hoping all this Internet stuff would go away.

Great guy, go read the interview!
