Definition
Spatiotemporal proximity and social distance are two heuristic principles for filtering user-generated content produced by the members of a location-based social network (Schlieder and Yanenko 2010; Yap et al. 2012). Information filtering addresses the quality problem which arises when content is created by a large community of voluntary contributors as is the case in Web-based forms of participatory or citizen journalism. While the computational filtering approaches share some basic assumptions with the evaluation approach adopted in classical journalism, there are significant differences with respect to the scale of the problem and...
