12. Content Curation
• Curation is all about helping your audience dive in and make sense of a
specific topic, issue, event or news story. It is about collecting, but it is also
about explaining, illustrating, bringing in different points of view and
updating the view as it changes. It is also about sharing with your
community – not passing along stuff that you have not read or contextualize
or shooting out links. But engaging in dialogue to help them make sense. -
