Is YouTube evolving into a competitive news outlet? | ZDNet

Is YouTube evolving into a competitive news outlet? | ZDNet: "YouTube is home to a plethora of videos, from cats to political blunders and how-to guides. It enjoys 800 million unique visitors per month, and in 2011, the streaming site had more than 1 trillion views -- or around 140 views for every person on Earth.

Localized in 43 countries and across 60 languages, YouTube's global following makes it a force to be reckoned with. With such a strong base and user-generated content expanding from animation to learning and business, it seems reasonable that the potential of YouTube could be tapped in other areas.


According to a new report released by the Pew Research Center as part of its Project for Excellence in Journalism, more and more visitors are turning to the website for news footage. "YouTube is becoming a major platform for viewing news," the report says."
