A study says many people get their news from YouTube. The video-sharing website has become integral in citizen journalism.
YouTube continues to grow as online source for news information
NEW YORK — A new study has found that YouTube has become a major platform for news, one where viewers are turning for eyewitness videos in times of major events and natural disasters.
The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism on Monday released their examination of 15 months of the most popular news videos on the Google Inc.-owned site. It found that while viewership for TV news still easily outpaces those consuming news on YouTube, the video-sharing site is a growing digital environment where professional journalism mingles with citizen content.
"There's a new form of video journalism on this platform," said Amy Mitchell, deputy director of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. "It's a form in which the relationship between news organizations and citizens is more dynamic and more multiverse than we've seen in most other platforms before."
More than a third of the most-watched videos came from citizens. Than more half came from news organizations, but footage in those videos sometimes incorporated foot age shot by YouTube users.

Viacom and DirecTV finalize agreement
LOS ANGELES — SpongeBob SquarePants and Snooki are coming back to DirectTV.
Cable programming giant Viacom and satellite broadcaster DirecTV reached a deal early Friday morning, ending a nine-day battle that left about 20 million homes without more than a dozen popular channels including MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and VH1.
The dispute related to the fees that Viacom was seeking for its programming, which DirectTV viewed as a steep hike. The short fight seemed to hurt Viacom more than DirectTV.Ratings for many of its cable networks saw declines of more than 20 percent during the blackout.Nickelodeon in particular
