Natalia Karbasova writes a short but useful article for DW-Akademie, introducing basic ideas and some practical suggestions about curation tools for journalists interested in this new field.
She writes: "With the development of online journalism, the role of curators will be growing too.
Up until now, curators seem to fall into two categories: those aggregating and reblogging content without any editorializing, and those providing additional thoughts as part of their reblog, retweet, etc.
Providing related content in a context means that a new way of storytelling appears. The way in which it is done depends to a large extent on the tools chosen."
She then goes on to explainging what a curator does and what question she would need to ask herself before starting.
Finally she describes and lists a good number of interesting real-time content curation and social bookmarking tools, before providing a few hints on where to actually find the content in the first place.

The good stuff he produced remains valid and accessible.
