Over the course of the FluPortal project, we’ve been putting together “how-to” guides that explain various web tools and social media you can use in your reporting.
And now we’ve assembled them all in one place: here!
Heard of Twitter and Delicious but haven’t had time to figure out how they might help your newsroom? Trying to work out how to host live chats online? Wishing you could combine various RSS news feeds and display them on your website? Look no further than the FP Guides. They explain what the tools are and how to use them — to inform your reporting and your audience.
We wrote them all with H1N1 in mind, but it’s easy to generalize from them and apply the tips to any story you’re working on.
