Al-Jazeera, Social Media, & The Next Generation Of News | WebProNews: "Al-Jazeera’s seen how social media is changing the way the wind blows, so the news organization shifted its sails accordingly and now finds itself on the front lines of the next generation of news reporting. Twitter, Facebook, Skype, YouTube, Google+, Pinterest, Reddit, Storify – no social network outlet is too small for Al-Jazeera’s “social media-centric” show, The Stream. By relying primarily on social media, much like all people these days appear to lean, The Stream has molded a new style of crowd-sourced journalism capable of catching stories and breaking news before any of the established giants of the mainstream news."
