This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Kcrawface (article contribs).
User-generated content is often called/referred as community generated media (or CGM for short) and prosumers (Alvin Toffler), so I think it needs to be added somewhere on the page.
Also because there are pages on Wikipedia that uses the term "community generated media" but then links to here, because this has nearly the same defenition, so it can cause some confusion. Wariostarx (talk) 17:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have observed incidents that supported the arrival of "citizen journalist" under the "Adoption and recognition by mass media" section has not been citited with required supporting information.
I would like to add to the existing content as below, suggested content is in italic -
The BBC set up a user generated content team as a pilot in April 2005 with 3 staff. In the wake of the 7 July 2005 London bombings and the Buncefield oil depot fire, the team was made permanent and was expanded, reflecting the arrival in the mainstream of the citizen journalist.It has been noted that the photos and videos captured by the passengers were the only pictures found during the London Underground bombing in 2005. After the Buncefield disaster the BBC received over 5,000 photos from viewers. The BBC does not normally pay for content generated by its viewers.
