Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The newly discussed label ‘user-generated content’ (UGC) stands for web site content produced by users. In contrast to private homepages or amateur web sites UGC is always situated on professional, commercial web sites, controlled and administered by professional providers and constitutes only one part of the whole content on such a site. A look at the concept of interactivity as well as on UGC reveals the relatedness of both concepts. The first part of this paper sketches differences and connections between interactivity and UGC. In a second step, we discuss the basic dimensions of UGC based on a qualitative yet non-systematic overview of existing mass media web sites. The basic aim of the paper is to develop a framework which shows basic differences and variants of mass media web sites integrating UGC and which may guide theoretical and empirical analyses in the future.
