What is it about?
Users now share a gatekeeping role for content published on media websites. Users assess contributions by other users; communicate the perceived value or quality of user- and journalist-produced content; and selectively re-disseminate that content. The result is a two-step gatekeeping process, in which initial editorial decisions to make an item part the news product are followed by user decisions to upgrade or downgrade its visibility for a secondary audience.
