Journalism based on Twitter and Facebook? This is real
I do not think that the meaning of this note will be clear to the reader immediately after reading the title, so I hasten to explain what is the matter. And the thing is: the largest news agency AFP is going to conduct an interesting experiment - to close five journalists on the farm for five days and ask them to write news reports based only on Twitter and Facebook messages.
There are already five volunteers who will be left on their laptops access to Facebook and Twitter microblogging service. The rest of the Internet is “chopped off,” smartphones with phones will also be taken away. According to AFP, journalists will not be able to surf the Web, in search of other news. I do not know how this will be implemented, but still the agency is quite large, so I think everything will be set up properly.

What is interesting is the factor of the impossibility of connecting to the Network to check the news that journalists will find in the above-mentioned resources. After all, for example, even after the earthquake in Haiti, on Twitter, there was news of the need for urgent evacuation, due to the formation of a tsunami. But this news, about the tsunami, was originally a “lime tree”.
In general, it is not easy for journalists, and the result of the experiment is very interesting to me. Someone from habrovchan somehow wrote that Twitter on the whole is saturated with useless information. It will be interesting to check this position, because the goal of the experiment is to check the quality of news appearing in social media , like social networks.
In general, we are waiting for it all to begin, and even more so when it ends.
