Is there a canonical essay about (the problems with and complexities of) social media aggregation as journalism that I can just link to so I don't have to break down the angles and weirdnesses myself?
There *has* to be, right?
@kissane are you talking about aggregation on a personal level, like when I bring my Instagram, Reddit and WordPress feeds all into Twitter?
Or aggregation like when two or three big companies keep buying up the new startups?
@evan Oh no, I mean when journalists collect up a bunch of e.g. tweets and post them with a couple of paragraphs and call it a story. (Really I mean when editors assign this kind of story.)
"Aggregate" is just how I've heard it talked about within journalism.
