"Content curation is the ongoing finding and sharing of relevant digital and non-digital content about a specific topic for a specific audience. Typically, this content will come from a variety of properly credited sources and will be collated in such a way that the collection will be more useful than its individual elements."

There's nothing new about curating the news and aggregating content. It's always been part of the role of journalism, selecting and presenting information, and editors have always done it. Aggregation is not curation. Aggregators pull together, and allow you to assemble, news from a variety of sources in one place. Those that also curate the news spotlight stories and often package content based on algorithm and/or the work of editors (ie there's some type of judgment involved and usually context created).
