GigaOM :: Andy Carvin also talked with Mathew Ingram, GigaOM, about how he approached the reporting of real-time events on Twitter, and how he doesn’t really like having what he did called a “newswire” at the Mesh 2012 conference. Instead, he says he prefers to think of it as a crowdsourced newsroom — with him as the reporter, or the anchor (or “news DJ,” another term he likes to use) pulling in reports from different places, and then relying on his followers to act as editors and sources, fact-checking and verifying and also distributing the news that he was curating.
