A freelance journalist has created an edited The Reddit Edit, which pulls in top content posted on Reddit that can act as a source of feature ideas for journalists.

Reddit, the social news platform where users submit content and vote it up or down, has been used by journalists since its launch in 2005. Last week it gained particular attention from Nieman Journalism Lab, Time and other outlets in the way details of the Aurora, Colorado cinema shooting were surfaced on the platform.
