Guest: Neal Augenstein and Andrew Beaujon
From Facebook to Twitter, social media platforms have changed the way news is gathered and disseminated. While journalists use social media, private citizens are also using these methods to contribute to the news stream.
WTOP reporter Neal Augenstein and Poynter Online media reporter Andrew Beaujon talk about the impact of social media on journalism in a special panel discussion.
Augenstein, who joined WTOP in 1997, is the first radio reporter to use iPhone as his primary field recording and production device. This fall, Augenstein and WTOP donated his iPhone to the Newseum for future display on exhibits related to changes in news technology.
Beaujon reports on the media for Poynter Online and was previously arts editor at TBD.com and managing editor of Washington City Paper. He frequently uses Twitter as a platform to reach the public and reports on the impact of social media on journalism on a national scale.
The event was moderated by Frank Bond, from the Newseum.
