The Future of Social Media in Journalism

14 September, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

Vadim Lavrusik:

all media as we know it today will become social, and feature a social component to one extent or another. […]

But more importantly, these social tools are inspiring readers to become citizen journalists by enabling them to easily publish and share information on a greater scale. The future journalist will be more embedded with the community than ever, and news outlets will build their newsrooms to focus on utilizing the community and enabling its members to be enrolled as correspondents. Bloggers will no longer be just bloggers, but be relied upon as more credible sources.

Excellent overview of:
– Collaborative Reporting
– Journalists as Community Managers
– The Social Beat
– Social Stories
– Online Curation for a “Time-Poor Audience”
– The Social Network as the New Editor
– Beyond Twitter & Facebook
– Monetizing Social
– A Social Newsroom and the Personal Brand
– A Mobile Social Experience

    General election 2010: the 10 key datasets to help you decide – guardian.co.uk

    "With the general election 2010 campaign well and truly underway, it's easy for the key facts to get lost in a barrage of propaganda, counter-accusations and obsfucation, as Labour, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats battle for the key marginals.

    To help you through the next few weeks of campaign, we've compiled some of the best datasets. Every day, we'll be adding more and more to the site – so let us know if there's anything else you need to know.

    What can you do with the data?"
