You may have noticed Legit.ng regularly updates you with exclusive stories of ordinary people. We reveal the problems and conflicts Nigerians face, everyday challenges they are up to as well as share funny situations, inspiring experiences, real feelings and emotions. In journalism, we call such stories user-generated content.
How do we find the characters of the articles? How do we create engaging and outstanding stories? How does Legit.ng unleash real opinions of citizens about what is going on?
Today we will share the insights of our editor’s work and the best human tales published on Legit.ng.
How to find trending topics?
Being a technology-driven media, we use various modern tools and instruments in everything we do, and user-generated content is not an exception.
Our researchers monitor Google Trends, Twitter trends and BuzzSumo to track the hottest topics you talk about and search for exciting people’s stories.
Nearly two-thirds of the news are found by our researchers with the help of these tools and general social media search, monitoring and exploring the newsfeed.
