I would group that together with content type #1 -- editorially generated. Even though articles and blogs may be written by authors not on the publication staff, they are still commissioned and/or edited by publication staff. In essence, they are contributing authors and adjunct staff to your magazine. I also agree that blogs don't really count as UGC with the exception of the abilities for readers to comment / feedback ... just like you've been doing on my blog. Hi Frank.

This type of content will edited/reviewed by a member of the publication's staff, but would carry the byline of the actual author. It could take the form of single articles being contributed, and editorial feature/series or and could also be a non-staff blogger (I would consider a staff blog part of your item 1) who has a regular blog on your site. (I don't really think the blogs fit in #2) Its not really user generated content since there is a production/review process in place for it, but it isn't editorially generated, at least how you're defining the term. Thoughts? Or would you combine this in one of your existing categories? Eric,
