“Tumblr is basically hiring a staff to celebrate creativity and innovation. How many companies can say that?”
This is a really cool, and meta, initiative by Tumblr to go beyond PR pieces and examine its community in a journalistic way. I’m sure many of my friends wouldn’t call this journalism, but as the article references, both Twitter and Facebook are creating similar spaces and investing in the curation of their community content.
Do you think this has the potential to open up a new area of journalism?
(this kind of sounds like my dream job, not going to lie. What I love most about it is that this concept never would have entered my mind!)
