Sourcing global stories through social media

On platforms like Twitter and Facebook, journalists can now find witnesses and sources for almost any major news event. But how can you be sure that their information is reliable? In this workshop, you will learn how to find information and sources on social media, who and what to avoid, creative verification techniques, and how to promote your story once it's published.

Organised in association with media140.com

Workshops are free entry but registration is required. Each workshop will have a limited number of participants. The workshop registration form will be put on the website soon. Workshop registration will begin on 15 March 2012.
