Social media is being hailed as a game-changer in nearly every industry, including the news business. So what happens when a veteran journalist adds this new tool to her arsenal? She discovers it is so much more than a distribution channel. It can change the kinds of stories journalists tell and how they tell them.
Bio
Sarah Larson started her journalism career in 1995, when she landed her first gig as a stringer covering the council meetings of two tiny towns about 30 minutes outside her Illinois hometown. She thought she was the luckiest girl in the world. From night cops to county government, she progressed through five beats and various editorships at two newspapers and loved nearly every minute of it. She left the newspaper world in 2008, and had no plans to return.
