    Does the actual media (CNN, CBS, Reuters) use social networking media (Digg, Reddit, Furl) to generate stories, or to make sure they are covering all topics?

    If they aren't how long till they start using this to cover up to the minute stories, based on user driven content vs. paying millions to be situated in different parts of the world in case a story pops up?

    Yes, they have to be very advanced to accomplish their tasks. They keep their eyes everywhere to pick what they can and to circulate it through these social sites fastly. They Get the updates for that.

    News media is very well organised in different parts of the world.Yes they do use social media too, because there is lot of competition in the news media and everyone wants to be the FIRST ONE to come up with the latest news. CNN and BBC even keep regularly showing up their twitter accounts as well as their website between the news report just to get more and more visitors and traffic.

    Yes they do, especially when they cant get enough reporters to a location quickly enough or at all. See Iran in 2009, Haiti last year, Libya and Egypt this year.
