Time Magazine Hires Photojournalists to Instagram Sandy | Social Media and Journalists | Scoop.it

“Time, however, took a different -- and in my opinion better -- approach, hiring five well-known photographers to man their Instagram account.

Q&A on podcasting and journalism with Claire Wardle

Q&A on podcasting and journalism with Claire Wardle | Social Media and Journalists | Scoop.it

"User generated content comes in all forms and the sheer quantity of material is eye-watering. The most talented journalists today are those who can find the best material and verify it as quickly as possible. The best way of verifying content is to contact the person who uploaded it, and to ask them detailed questions about where they are, what they can see ... Verifying user generated content is much harder than people think, it’s not just a case of doing a search of Twitter and publishing the first thing you see."

She says: “I post links to my own work, but I also do a lot of curation. I post links to other things that I think people who like Grammar Girl would also find interesting…I answer a lot of questions [about grammar], as many as I can, and I think people appreciate that — the fact that I’m there and I’m constantly giving good information. It helps people remember me when they’re thinking about buying a book."
