On balance, do you think UGC enriches journalistic production or cheapens it? this is a particular focus in my university course and any thoughts you had would be helpful. I don’t think ‘cheapens’ just refers to a monetary value either.

I would partly agree with JC Dill in that you need to separate the importance of UGC posted on personal websites to that posted on ‘mainstream’ online sites, but I also think you need to distinguish the type of content that is being posted (whether personal type comments and professional short write-ups or commentaries). I would think that most content posted on personal websites; blogs, facebook etc… is going to have a different meaning and type of quality compared to that which is posted on mainstream websites overall.

In response to iGuide’s comment I feel the term ‘user generated content’ is relevant. The reason for this is I would say for example the author of this blog entry is the ‘content creator’ which he has published to his audience. I am now using this site to learn more about PR and marketing in general so I would say by writing this comment I am submitting ‘user-generated content’. I’m not the creator of this thread and don’t feel inferior by this being classed as user-generated. If I want to be a creator then I’ll just start my own blog. Anyway, that’s my thoughts.
