“ Although I’ve been an active Facebook user for years now, I have begun to use it in a new way. Facebook has proved to be an incredible tool for helping me find sources for stories. ” – Shawndrea Corbin
“ I can connect with these same people and communities to better serve them .” – Caroline Porter
“ Knowing there are twenty-somethings and small business owners within my circle of followers , I made sure to highlight those points in my 140 character blurb.” – Dustin Volz
“ People prefer to read content from individuals they know personally. I learned a valuable lesson: the trick to producing a loyal readership is establishing a relationship where both parties actively participate .” - Sebastian Bauge

“ I like that we (at least my group of FB friends) don’t attack each other, it’s open dialogue and we’re respectful of opinions .” – Chevas Samuels

“ It is the lack of an online presence which makes an individual less secure, less connected and less informed .” - Saman Golestan
“ There is much more focus on individual knowledge. The writer in charge of the story must not only know how to write, but also know why people want to read it , and also know how to structure the story in an interesting to read way.” - Will D’Urso
“ Social media showed me that people don’t just care about the news, they care about the people who write i t . Attracting dedicated readers is a battle. The new generation of reporters can’t just market their content; they have to market themselves as well.” – Sebastian Bauge

“ My editor at State Press Magazine pointed out that my online readership almost tripled when I posted the story on my Facebook account.” - Sebastian Bauge
