Editor's Notes

  1. We’ll discuss how reporters need to use social media to cover their beats more efficiently.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. We’ll also discuss the Denver plane crash that Mike Wilson survived and how the media missed an opportunity by not using Twitter.
  5. 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.
