    A good producer of content doesn't necessarily create all the content, you can be a curator of good content. - @jbatsell #sabew11

    @PRNewswire I disagree 100%. there may b a lot of trash on Twitter but part of being a journalist is being able to sift through it for gold.

    @marianoppong @PRNewswire Curation vs. reporting isn't an either/or question. Both are essential to owning coverage of your beat. #sabew11

    @PRNewswire @jbatsell-Good! But a curator mainly oversees; so perhaps someone who harvests good content is better than one who only produce?
