Finding Students Where They Live

This was my first session of Friday, held at 9 a.m. It discussed ways to use Facebook and Myspace as reporting tool.

It was suggested to start a Facebook group and use it for recruitment and self-praising. We don't want to always talk about the journalism department accomplishments in the paper, but we are free to do it on our Facebook group.

One should always fact check afterwards, but information can be accessed initially when a story is breaking. It is also a great way to stay in touch with alumni. It is also a good way to find friends of the story subject to interview.
