A live feed of information relating to the event is provided for presentation on the page. A summary of segments of the event is provided for presentation on the page. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: providing, by a computing system, content items, generated by at least one of connections or a group of a user, relating to an event for presentation in a first section of a page of a social networking system dedicated to the event, wherein the content items are ranked for presentation based on at least one of an affinity between a connection who generated a content item and the user, an affinity between a group that generated a content item and the user, and a value reflecting an extent to which a content item is associated with the event; providing, by the computing system, a plurality of options to the user to personalize a post of the user to indicate an expression of support by the user for the event, wherein the post includes a narrative; providing, by the computing system, a live feed of information relating to the event for presentation in a second section of the page, wherein the live feed comprises content items organized and presented by categories, the categories comprising authorities, eyewitness communications, eyewitness media, and metadata; providing, by the computing system, a summary of segments of the event for presentation on the page, wherein the segments include portions of the event based on intervals of time or occurrence of certain activities; and appending, by the computing system, a reference to the post of the user related to the event indicating an activity of the event that is contemporaneous with generation of the post. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the event relates to at least one of a sports activity, an entertainment activity, a political activity, and a social activity. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the event occurs in at least one of real life or the social networking system. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: providing content items generated by participants in the event for presentation on the page. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving live data of the live feed from a third party source in communication with the social networking system. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of options include a plurality of icons selectable by the user for display in the post of the user, wherein the post is published to users of the social networking system displaying at least one icon selected from the plurality of icons. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: pre-populating information in a post of the user regarding an activity of the user in relation to the event. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: appending a reference to a post of the user related to the event indicating a time of the event. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: associating each image of a plurality of images with a corresponding activity of the event; and providing each image of the plurality of the images contemporaneously with the occurrence of each activity of the event as the event transpires. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the plurality of images is selected by at least one of an administrator of the social networking system and an organization that manages the event. ### Claim 11 A system comprising: at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform: providing content items, generated by at least one of connections or a group of a user, relating to an event for presentation in a first section of a page of a social networking system dedicated to the event, wherein the content items are ranked for presentation based on at least one of an affinity between a connection who generated a content item and the user, an affinity between a group that generated a content item and the user, and a value reflecting an extent to which a content item is associated with the event; providing a plurality of options to the user to personalize a post of the user to indicate an expression of support by the user for the event, wherein the post includes a narrative; providing a live feed of information relating to the event for presentation in a second section of the page, wherein the live feed comprises content items organized and presented by categories, the categories comprising authorities, eyewitness communications, eyewitness media, and metadata; providing a summary of segments of the event for presentation on the page, wherein the segments include portions of the event based on intervals of time or occurrence of certain activities; and appending a reference to a post of the user related to the event indicating an activity of the event that is contemporaneous with generation of the post. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the event relates to at least one of a sports activity, an entertainment activity, a political activity, and a social activity. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, further comprising: providing content items generated by participants in the event for presentation on the page. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the plurality of options include a plurality of icons selectable by the user for display in the post of the user, wherein the post is published to users of the social networking system displaying at least one icon selected from the plurality of icons. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, further comprising: appending a reference to a post of the user related to the event indicating a time of the event. ### Claim 16 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising: providing content items, generated by at least one of connections or a group of a user, relating to an event for presentation in a first section of a page of a social networking system dedicated to the event, wherein the content items are ranked for presentation based on at least one of an affinity between a connection who generated a content item and the user, an affinity between a group that generated a content item and the user, and a value reflecting an extent to which a content item is associated with the event;
