Who DOES Own the News?

Interesting article from AP, that includes an interview with the director of BBC's Global News Division. The article discusses how user-generated news is turning the entire news gathering (and news "owning") model upside down. Snippet:

The avalanche of high quality video, photos and e-mailed news material from citizens following the July 7 bombings in London marked a turning point for the British Broadcasting Corporation, the head of its global news division said Wednesday.

"We don't own the news any more," Sambrook said. "This is a fundamental realignment of the relationship between large media companies and the public."

Interesting story. Check it out.
