Online video has proven to be a sought after content type during breaking news stories, natural disasters, or other current events.  However, the very nature of breaking news makes it tough to find video of a specific event as the news of that event is still breaking, because it’s lost amid the billions of other videos viewed online every day. But now Dailymotion aims to fix that by launching a series of video hubs designed to help users easily find and watch videos related to current events, breaking news, and hot topics. Some hubs will be permanent–such as the one for ” movie trailers ” or the one for ” gaming “–but most of the hubs will be based around events and news stories, like the CES hub they created for videos about the Consumer Electronics Show.  Each hub will be curated by human editors, who will presumably also be the ones determining when an “event” has garnered enough attention to warrant its own hub.
