Youtube a Destination For News

The Pew Research Center for Excellence in Journalism has released a study examining the most popular news videos on Youtube from January 2011 to March 2012. They were able to determine that citizen posted videos were the most viewed a third of the time, as compared to tradition media organizations. The study also sited a continuous journalistic "dialogue" between citizens and media orgainzations - where video content gets married. This mix of amateur and pro video has created a real on demand news platform - that still has credibility.
