Academic presentations dominate the second day of the International Online Journalism Symposium at UT Austin in Texas.

The research papers cover a wide range of topics, but one topic that kept coming up was user-generated content, also described as citizen journalism and participatory journalism.

Normally, I would have blogged the papers and highlighted some of the research. But my energy levels are low today so instead I recommend reading the posts by journalism students blogging the conference.

Updates have also been flowing through Twitter which can be found using the hashtag #isoj.

And fortunately, the papers are available for download for free, so grab them while you can.
