| YouTube announced plans today for a "newswire" of eyewitness videos and a separate project on videos related to social justice and human rights.
In partnership with the social news group Storyful, the YouTube Newswire will be "a curated feed of the most newsworthy eyewitness videos of the day, which have been verified by Storyful's team of editors," a blog post from the Google-owned video sharing service said.
"With the Newswire, we hope to provide journalists with an invaluable resource to discover news video around major events, and to highlight eyewitness video that offers new perspectives on important news stories."

The initiative will draw on user-contributed videos on YouTube such as those which have been important sources for events such as the Arab Spring uprisings and protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
"It's almost impossible to turn on the news during a breaking event without seeing raw video uploaded by a YouTube user somewhere across the globe," Google News Lab's Olivia Ma said in the blog post.
"Today, more than five million hours of news video is watched on YouTube every day, and the role of the eyewitness has never had a more vital place in the newsgathering process."
YouTube also said it was launching a team to work on verification of videos contributed to the platform called The First Draft Coalition
