The buzz about user-generated TV

“User-generated content is not only fun but allows people in this era to return to that scene of artisan culture from the 18th century where everyone is a producer and a consumer at the same time”

Caterina Fake, Co-Founder, Flickr

“Why would anyone who’s a professional content maker fear user-generated content? In the end, it makes you better at your job, which is to give the advert-watching public what they want.”

Mark Burnett, Chief Executive, Mark Burnett Productions
