Since it seems like other companies are seeking to compete with their concept. Newsvine is also something I am interested in looking a little more into eventually.

I had not really thought this post through completely. Tips and receiving footage should definitely intersect. We are dependent on the checks news agencies do have in place. That is why, I am afraid I will have to disagree with people who advocate that Digg is a trustworthy News Agency, base upon what actually receives enough Diggs to come on the front-page. This is what is so good about Slashdot, they have a well established number of editors to filter some of the information. That is correct, and I am glad you brought it to my attention.

I'd not actually considered that, but I'm guessing it's something that's easily worked out through the systems and checks the news agencies have in place. For example: news emerges that there's been a shooting, then the news breaks that it's some celebrity. Then several similar reports arrive in. Moments later, the news agency received a section of video from a mobile phone. These two pieces tie in. But if only the chunk of video arrives and the telephones are silent, then the alarm bells would surely start ringing. I don't envy the news agency that runs with a story based purely on one or even two video clips from a mobile phone... “The possibility is definitely out there, for a large amount of people to be able to fabricate stories with their camera cell phones.”
