CBS News Preps Highly "Social" Show

CBSNews.com is about to debut a live, weekly Webcast that "fills the gap as a broadcast show for the Internet generation," host and executive producer Shira Lazar tells Lost Remote. "What's Trending," so called, is designed take the concept of community-driven content to a new level. "It's not just a show with a social strategy added on to it -- it's powered by the community and social media," according to Lazar.

The show's blog and social media accounts -- on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube -- are already up and running, focusing on news stories trending in social media. "We're aiming to engage the Facebook generation, people that might be finding news in different ways over their social networks, but who might want more context, a more extensive experience and going to the source of the news and links they see in their feeds, as well as creating a conversation around those stories," Lazar tells Lost Remote.

Set to debut next Tuesday, the show will stream live on CBSNews.com, and possibly on live streaming services, as well.
