YouTube Teams Up With Storyful to Create Curated Newswire
YouTube is taking advantage of the mounds of user-generated content to present verified stories, provide education and tools for digital fact-checking and tell stories about human-rights issues.
YouTube announced YouTube Newswire, a partnership with Storyful to provide a curated news feed with verified stories. According to the official blog, this grew out of the proliferation of user-generated YouTube videos that are already being used to support news reporting.
