1. NETWORKED NEWS The rise of social newsgathering

3. Eg. Scanning Twitter , using hashtags, YouTube, Flickr, and other social media to cover real-time events

4. Seeking and gathering information in social media to report news through mainstream channels

6. Reporter researches story: Calls sources/official contacts for confirmation; heads to scene of event with photographer) for interviews. Brief news item may be posted on newspaper website

8. Crowdsources: Uses Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, online forums and other social media sources to gather and spread eyewitness information and verified facts

11. Social journalism is noisy!
