8 The UGC video was actually submitted directly to GuardianWitness, the UGC initiative from
the Guardian. The video was so dramatic that it was syndicated to a number of different news
organizations, including the BBC. It is also worth noting that the video was not described as UGC
or credited.\\
9 Two non-news features on CNN International included very high numbers of UGC.\\
These were not included in this table as we wanted to compare stories that appeared on more
than one channel.\\

11 The only content that could be described in this category was a two-minute roundup showcasing
online responses to Miley Cyrus' appearance at the American Music Awards in front of a giant
lip-syncing cat. It showed the audience's responses, which appeared in tweets, Vine videos, and
pictures posted to social networks.\\

24 There is also a significant problem caused by the lack of legal precedent. One of the most confusing
elements is that within YouTube's Terms and Conditions, downloading video is prohibited.
However, it is in the interest of the platform that high-quality video to be seen on news broadcasts
as it might drive traffic back to the site, and therefore increase view counts and revenue. This leads
to confusion around what is legal and illegal.\\
25 The ethics of using content published on social networks was raised after BuzzFeed published a
series of tweets sent by women about the clothes they had been wearing when they were sexually
abused. It led to a number of discussions about the ethics of embedding content that was not
originally created with the intent of ending up on a news site. This article by Slate provides a
useful roundup of the debate. www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2014/03/twitter_journalism_private_lives_public_speech_how_reporters_can_ethically.html.\\
