Abstract. The widespread use of social media is regarded by many as the emergence of a new highway for information and news sharing promising a new information-driven “social revolution”. In this paper, we analyze how this idea transfers to the news reporting domain. To analyze the role of social media in news reporting, we ask whether citizen journalists tend to create news or peddle (re-report) existing content. We introduce a framework for exploring divergence between news sources by providing multiple views on corpora in comparison. The results of our case study comparing Twitter and other news sources suggest that a major role of Twitter authors consists of neither creating nor peddling, but extending them by commenting on news.
