Great article by Felix Salmon on the new distribution model of sharing, and why journalists sometimes have trouble getting on board.

Sites like Tumblr make sharing easy, with the result that many blogs are focused almost exclusively on sharing others’ content while creating little original posts. That’s a good thing, says Salmon. I also think it points to something else: The skill of curating content meaningfully, drawing pieces together to form a coherent whole, is becoming more and more important for journalists.
