The One Rule of Social Media: Experiment
Today’s journalism landscape will change tomorrow. And that’s an exciting concept, no doubt, but it can also be frustrating.
So when I signed up to attend last month’s panel, called “The Emerging Skills of Tomorrow’s Journalist,” I thought I’d leave with answers. Would someone actually be able to point me in the right direction? Would I leave knowing which tools make it simpler for journalists to navigate this rough sea of social journalism?
Turns out, I didn’t leave with answers. The panel featured Mashable’s Vadim Lavrusik, New York University’s Jay Rosen, CNN’s Laurie Segall, the New York Times’ Jenna Wortham and All Things Digital’s Drake Martinet, but it quickly became apparent that even these leaders don’t have any magic beans in their pockets.
And in a way, this was the panel’s most powerful message: the secret is, there is no secret.

Journalism Educators Using Social Tools
This is a history of my conversation with journalism educators last week about their use of social media in the classroom. I referenced these responses and quoted a few tweets in a post for PBS MediaShift: How to Integrate Social Tools into the Journalism Classroom
