5. " The Continuous News Desk is busier than ever with stories coming in all day from various desks. The sports editors, when they hear about a big trade, are pushing the reporters to file quickly and sending that story to CND. All of the desks are now doing that to some extent, and it’s being done more often, with more stories, every week.” ." - Editors Weblog, 2007

8. “ The adrenaline was running by now. So I turned [the flash] on and took five pictures. I realised they were important and I saw another guy shooting video on his phone. “ So I got him into a taxi and we went back to AP’s offices in Camden.” - Matt Dunham, AP, in The Guardian

12. "We increased the reach of the NewsHour's live-stream by having it hosted elsewhere including the Sunlight Foundation and Huffington Post. We also hosted a map with live AP election data on our site and combined it with our map-centric Patchwork Nation collaboration. We used CoveritLive to power a live-blog of results, analysis and reports from the field. Extra, the NewsHour's site for students and teachers, solicited opinion pieces. "Many of the tools we experimented with to cover the 2008 election -- Google Docs, Twitter, Facebook -- have since matured as newsroom resources. Except for a few momentary hiccups, Twitter was as stable as we could have hoped on Election Day." - Dave Gustafson, PBS

13. "On election night, more than a dozen NewsHour staffers worked in the same [Google] document in real-time -- filing reports from the field and transcribing quotes from NewsHour analysts and notable guests on other networks. "When [Mike] typed a pound sign (#), that signaled the paragraph was ready and I immediately pasted it into CoveritLive. "In a different spreadsheet, staff kept track of which races were called by other news organizations and when. We also used the embedded chat feature in Google Docs to communicate while editing and adding information." - Dave Gustafson, PBS

14. I venture to bet that we were the only network last night with an election graphics system running in Google Chrome. Thanks to our partners at Ustream posting a giant promotion on their home page for a full day our election live-stream garnered more than 250,000 views. We also notified our 73,000 iPhone app users of our special coverage plans. Our app download traffic tripled. As for Facebook, we were blown away by the breaking news engagement we got. It has us reconsidering that strategy. A separate two-day effort targeting NewsHour ads on Facebook pages of specific political campaigns grew our fans about 7.3 percent in that short period.

37. Verification and law

38. "People shouldn't see this as a Twitter mistake; rather it was a reporting mistake that could have occurred on any platform." - Andy Carvin, NPR

41. Level 1: Content Is it too good to be true? Bait? Style and personality Can you verify each fact elsewhere? Frequency and recency Cloning and airbrushing

42. Level 2: Context How long has the account existed? Who did they first follow? Who followed them first? Who has spoken to/about them online? Correlation with other identities? ( Identify ) Tools: PeerIndex, Klout. Speak to them.

46. Level 3: Technology Domain extension - .gov? Check Whois records Last updated Pages linking to: Archives and caches; history & discussion Source code

48. Ethics Is deleting an incorrect tweet after the fact a lack of transparency? Live tweeting: spammy? Taste & graphic nature: Neda Non-declaration (Mayhill Fowler)

49. Law Streaming = broadcast (apologise), archived = publication (edit) Privacy and trespass Endangering sources: UGC and health & safety (e.g. Buncefield)
