In a marketplace that values instantanious information, News resources are simply too limited and their area of operation too vast to compete with the speed and reach of Social Media Networks. Wouldn't it be better to allow the information to be dissiminated organically via Twitter and Youtube and then reach out to the subject matter experts, who can analyze the event and filter out the quintessence from the noise of public discourse?
