Two studies dealing with how users interact with news online one by "The online Journalism Review" and the other by "Pew Research" make the case for News curation and best practices for curators. I will share excerpts of each study and then share my insight on how this relates to curation.

I just had an insight! I have been contemplating the best way to express the value of context in news curation (extends to any research) and came to it while browsing this KBucket page on Middle East.
I noticed that even though each one of the articles in and of itself is another footnote in history, the collection of the news events is historical and will always be relevant.

In an advertisement for her cable news show Rachel Maddow tells us that her process of discovery and reporting is finding patterns and connections between stories.
Jon Stewart often curates news from different sources to make a point.
In essence Rachel and Jon curate news - record history - on a daily basis in order to bring us a deeper insight and analysis of the current events. Without historical perspective analysis would not be possible.
