"YouTube is a mixed blessing: It is now harder to know what to believe. How do we know that what we see in a video clip posted by a "citizen journalist" is not a manipulated montage? How do we know, for example, that the YouTube video of terrorized American soldiers crying and praying while under fire was filmed in Iraq and not staged somewhere else to manipulate public opinion? The more than 86,000 people who viewed it in the first 10 days of its posting will never know."

"The good news is that the YouTube effect is already creating a strong demand for reliable guides — individuals, institutions and technologies — that we can trust to help us sort facts from lies online. The millions of bloggers who are constantly watching, fact-checking and exposing mistakes are a powerful example of "the wisdom of crowds" being assisted by a technology that is as open and omnipresent as we are."
- This is an interesting opinion. The fact that someone could actually use YouTube as a manipulatory device is something that I haven't thought out but I guess it is certainly possible.
- It's good to hear that the author says that people are relying on bloggers to sift between the fact and fiction of the YouTube posts. That really suggest that everyone now can participate in some sort of journalism.

It's highly possible that what is posited as true video accounts are manipulated publicity material. Remember the Lonely 15 series? In the end, it was revealed that it's scripted and many felt betrayed by it. But it goes to show the need for media literacy.
