Notes de l'éditeur
- We’ll discuss how reporters need to use social media to cover their beats more efficiently.
- We’ll discuss the leading social tools for journalists: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, each strong for a few years now, and Google+, the newest (potentially) major player.
- We’ll start with some examples of why Twitter is a valuable breaking-news tool. Most will, of course, remember that Twitpic had the first shot of the Hudson landing.
- We’ll also discuss the Denver plane crash that Mike Wilson survived and how the media missed an opportunity by not using Twitter.
- The next several slides will illustrate points from my February case study of how @statesman used Twitter effectively in the story of the terrorist plane crash into the IRS building in Austin.
