One thing about Gabriel Dance's presentation at CUNY that I found particularly interesting was his talk on user-generated content. As an industry in general, I think TV stations struggle with this concept. It's not as simple as asking people to send in "puppy pictures," as Dance suggested. However, that is what you see on many TV station web sites. Dance brought up a shining example of the power of user-generated content with the picture of a reader's dying mom. That is power. As Dance said, he will likely remember that for the rest of his life.
So I would want to ask Dance 1.) why he thinks so many stations/newspapers struggle with user-generated content and 2.) how can stations/newspapers effectively solicit user-generated content?
