Blogs and Twitter Technology for Journalists

What we’ll go over today A. What is expected out of blogs/twitter B. Blogs vs. traditional print reporting

Blogs Content Frequency Connectivity

Blogs: Content How does content on a news blog differ from that in a newspaper? - Length: Generally speaking, newspaper stories are longer than blog entries, which often are just a few hundred words. - Subject matter: Limited. Clear focus or niche. Often targets a particular audience.particular audience - Medium: Available online, often not replicated in print. May drive readers to other parts of news organization or other content.drive - Chronology: Posts appear in reverse chronological order. - Timely…

Blogs: Frequency Frequency arguably matters just as much as depth of content. News blog content is updated frequently, perhaps before the “full” picture has been gathered. Posts may not rise to a level of importance that merits space in print publication.level of importance Just interesting: Today’s news blogs grew out of authors’ online journals.

Speed v. Accuracy

Blogs: Connectivity Content - Blog posts often link to other news reporting or online content - Links enables readers to explore a topic in greater detail - Adds credibility… and lets your work be found on the web Community - Encourages public discourse (comments, links, etc.) - Blog posts may respond, challenge, add to, etc., others’ arguments or reports

Blogs CNN's Science Blog : WBEZ Jim DeRogatis music blog: Sports : NYT's Nate Silver:

Twitter What are the differences/similarities between news blogs and Twitter? Big difference: Twitter is “microblogging.” Allows for 140 characters—meaning it offers even smaller bites of content. Similarities: – Reverse chronological order. – Drives readers elsewhere. – Encourages discourse, via responses, retweets, etc.

Twitter #--what does it do for journalists? - Helps users group information, find information on particular subject - Contributes to discourse - Searchable -Enables broader audience to find your content -Used to identify Trending Topics

good is it to journalists? - User name or handle - Linked/Searchable - Allows users to direct messages to an individual, but in public setting - twitter.com/usernamehere

Twitter - “Following” means the user’s content appears in your news feed. - One-wayOne-way - Direct messages are private, but can only be sent to those who follow you.
