I like this quote from the article


"Curation is about people. It’s about knowing what people want, when they want it, and how they want it. As smart as computers are (and will be), I think we all appreciate the front-and-center engagement of humans with high degrees of expertise in certain subjects, guiding the curation process."

Content curation will continue to grow and curators will get more help from computers to get the work done.

How True! "Every act of journalism is an act of curation" - that is as long as what is being reported is accurate and unbiased!
