The Curator:
"With the push of social media and advancements in
communications technology, the curator has become a
journalist by proxy. They are not on the front lines,
covering a particular beat or industry, or filing a story
themselves, but they are responding to a reader need.
With a torrent of content emanating from innumerable
sources (blogs, mainstream media, social networks), a
vacuum has been created between reporter and reader
— or information gatherer and information seeker —
where having a trusted human editor to help sort out all
this information has become as necessary as those
who file the initial report.”
-- Josh Sternberg
